Mellor argue that recent developments in social character are key to explaining the sectarian tribalism that has afflicted American and European societies in recent decades.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilding upon one of the most influential books of the twentieth century, David Riesman's \u003ci\u003eThe Lonely Crowd\u003c\/i\u003e, the authors explore the social and economic conditions that have resulted in a 'thinning' of empathy and mutual identification, the significance of inequalities and social movements in stimulating the emergence of identity-directedness, and the opportunity-directed exploitation of dynamic social change, risk and uncertainty. Reflecting on an era marked by intensifying conflict, Social Character, Tribalism and Society asks whether it is possible that a 'saving remnant' could emerge from the characterological struggle that is fraying the social fabric and threatening to destabilise social order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChris Shilling\u003c\/b\u003e is emeritus professor of sociology at the University of Kent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhilip A.
