In a world in which migration and the mixing of peoples are
increasing while at the same time multicultural ideology has given
rise to the reassertion of putative primordial differences between
peoples, interesting questions are raised about the relationships
between political rhetoric and social action, groupness and
individuality, and the public and the private. The rate of
intermarriage is considered by sociologists the most important
statistical test of the strength or weakness of structural
divisions within societies. What do social anthropologists have to
say about heterogamy and homogamy in situations of movement and
flux, and what does this tell us about processes of
boundary-definition?
