While conflicts of class, ideology and political systems have
receded in the post-Cold War world, divisions based on group
identity - cultural, ethnic, religious, and national - have assumed
new importance. From Bosnia to Belfast and Burundi, from California
to Kosovo, the difficulty of defining and reconciling group
identities, and of relating them to state structures, has become
one of the central problems of our time. Nations in the developed
world are no less immune from these complex issues whether they
involve Scottish nationalism, the rival national identities in
Northern Ireland, the uneasy integration of former GDR citizens
into a united Germany, the perennial problems of Afro-Americans and
Hispanics in the United States, not to mention the myriad factors
raised by the disappearance of the Soviet Union. Leading scholars
and writers such as the late Ernest Gellner, Bhikhu Parekh, Olivier
Roy, Michael Ignatieff and Professor Adam Roberts of Oxford
University have collaborated with Edward Mortimer to illuminate the
issues of ethnic and national identity which have emerged as
central to the politics of today's world. They examine definitions
of ethnicity; the relationship between nationhood and nationalism;
sexual politics relating to nationalism and ethnicity; the problem
of national identity in a multicultural society as well as
surveying the problems and opportunities thrown up by different
kinds of nationalism. By exploring various perspectives on a highly
topical subject this book makes an important contribution to a
better understanding of the workings of politics in today's world.
