paperback. The impact of liberal globalisation and multiculturalism has led, in some cases, to dominant ethnic decline and, in others, to a dramatic increase in assertions of ethnic dominance. This text investigates both phenomena and argues forcefully for the importance of dominant ethnicity in the contemporary world. Editor(s): Kaufmann, Eric P. Num Pages: 272 pages, 3 black & white tables, 5 black & white line drawings. BIC Classification: JP. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 232 x 155 x 15. Weight in Grams: 430.
The impact of liberal globalization and multiculturalism means that nations are under pressure to transform their national identities from an ethnic to a civic mode. This has led, in many cases, to dominant ethnic decline, but also to its peripheral revival in the form of far right politics. At the same time, the growth of mass democracy and the decline of post-colonial and Cold War state unity in the developing world has opened the floodgates for assertions of ethnic dominance. This book investigates both tendencies and argues forcefully for the importance of dominant ethnicity in the contemporary world.

With its bountiful array of materials, it presents a panoramic picture of ethnic change and of efforts to thwart." ... Read more
