Love this line (in second paragraph): "Opinion on the book is polarized..." well done, whoever did that. Then the rest of the sentence backs it up with examples. Really great! Mdukas (talk) 20:42, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The mention of identity fusion and link to the wiki article need to be removed. Nowhere in the book does Klein mention the identity fusion theory, or even use the word "fusion." Yet that theory is linked within the article as if Klein used it in his argument. Identity fusion is one of several theories about social identity (whatever it is), and neither it nor any of those particular theories should be emphasized as Klein's view unless he explicitly invokes that work as part of his explanation. Klein does not cite or mention the work of any identity fusion theorists (e.g., Swann Jr, Gómez, Buhrmester). It's not clear why it was mentioned or linked in the first place, but it should not remain. 38.147.235.238 (talk) 03:56, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
