"The Social Psychology of Everyday Politics" is a book that uses a social and political psychological lens to examine how politics is enacted in contemporary societies. The book argues that politics is not solely the domain of the elected and the powerful, but rather an on-going process that permeates everyday life, from ordinary interactions to social identity and belonging. The book takes a critical approach that places political activity within collective processes rather than individual behaviors, underscoring the need to examine the role of culture, history, ideology, and social context as integral to psychological processes. The book is divided into three interrelated parts that cover the politics of intercultural relations, political agency and social change, and political discourse and practice. The book offers insights into how psychology can be applied to some of the most pressing social issues we face, making it a fascinating read for students of psychology, political science, sociology, and cultural studies, as well as anyone working in the area of public policy.
