In the economics of everyday life, even ethnicity has become a
potential resource to be tapped, generating new sources of profit
and power, new ways of being social, and new visions of the future.
Throughout Africa, ethnic corporations have been repurposed to do
business in mining or tourism; in the USA, Native American
groupings have expanded their involvement in gaming, design, and
other industries; and all over the world, the commodification of
culture has sown itself deeply into the domains of everything from
medicine to fashion. Ethnic groups increasingly seek empowerment by
formally incorporating themselves, by deploying their sovereign
status for material ends, and by copyrighting their cultural
practices as intellectual property. Building on ethnographic case
studies from Kenya, Nepal, Peru, Russia, and many other countries,
this collection poses the question: Does the turn to the
incorporation and commodification of ethnicity really herald a new
historical moment in the global politics of identity?
