Uniforms and Nonuniforms Communication Through Clothing

Clothing serves as a system of signs that helps to order social interaction by identifying and locating individuals and groups within society. In the first in-depth study to analyze the communicative character of uniforms and other types of clothing, Nathan Joseph examines how clothing functions in a variety of social contexts to enforce norms, maintain institutional power, identify group membership, and express or suppress individuality.Joseph, Nathan is the author of 'Uniforms and Nonuniforms Communication Through Clothing', published 1986 under ISBN 9780313251955 and ISBN 0313251959.
