These essays examine the importance of historical consicousness and
the role of historiography in 'ethnic' situations, exploring the
many ways in which ethnic groups select history, write or rewrite
it, rescue appropriate or ignore it, forget or traduce it. Drawing
on expert knowledge of regions ranging from the Amazon to
contemporary Germany, the contributors bring anthropological and
historical understanding to answer these questions, and investigate
major topics such as the relationship between ethnic, national and
state identifications, and the cultural work of creating them.
Examples include Afrikaaners and Northern Ireland Protestants, as
well as Mormons and Catalans. Bringing together a variety of themes
that have recently become the focus of study - ethnicity, the uses
and nature of history and the likelihood of objectivity in
historical telling - the book will be of great interest ot students
in the social sciences, anthropology, politics, history and
international relations.
