In this reflective conversation, John Solomos shares with Les Back something of his biographical and intellectual journey, in a career that has profoundly shaped the field of race and ethnic studies as we know it today. His 'grace and diplomacy' have earned him the respect of colleagues and critics, and his commitment to inclusivity has shaped a generation of scholars, and in ways that continues to create space for new voices and perspectives today.

Identities

Identities explores the relationship of racial, ethnic and national identities and power hierarchies within national and global arenas. It examines the collective representations of social, political, economic and cultural boundaries as aspects of processes of domination, struggle and resistance, and it probes the unidentified and unarticulated class structures and gender relations that remain integral to both maintaining and challenging subordination.   Identities responds to the paradox of our time: the growth of a global economy and transnational movements of populations produce or perpetuate distinctive cultural practices and differentiated identities.

《Identities》期刊探讨了种族、民族和国家身份与权力等级之间的关系，关注国家和全球范围内的现象。它研究社会、政治、经济和文化边界的集体表现，作为统治、斗争和抵抗过程的一个方面。同时，它深入探讨那些未被识别和表达的阶级结构与性别关系，这些因素在维持和挑战从属地位中都起着重要作用。《Identities》回应了我们时代的悖论：全球经济的增长和跨国人口流动产生或延续了独特的文化实践和差异化的身份。
