This volume focuses on the linkages between ethnicity and
population processes in the context of nation-building. Using
historical and contemporary illustrations in a variety of
countries, parts of this complex puzzle are scrutinized through the
prisms of sociology, history, political science, anthropology, and
demography Themes of ethnic group formation and transformation,
persistence and assimilation, demographic transitions and
convergences, and the processes of political mobilization and
economic development are described and compared. Case studies from
Southeast Asia, China, Africa, Brazil, Israel, the former Soviet
Union, Canada, Europe, and the United States are presented by
leading scholars. The examples illustrate the diversity of contexts
that connect population, ethnicity, and nation-building, raising
new questions and comparative problems. The importance of ethnic
conflict for issues of inequality and group disadvantage in the
emerging societies of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East; in the
politics of race and immigration in western societies; and in
European and American history emerges from the research. The
multidisciplinary emphasis addresses core themes of ethnicity and
nation-building in comparative perspectives.
