Summary
The introductory chapter provides a theoretical exposition of belonging and identity, the two central themes of this book. It accentuates the fundamental conception of belonging as sameness, which underlies various expressions of the idea of belonging. The chapter also signposts the conception of belonging as essential or as socially constructed, which comprises the two major axes of the discussion to follow, and the distinction and interplay between belonging and identity
