A broad examination of the rise of nationalism, populism,
xenophobia, and racism throughout the world The Wiley Blackwell
Companion to Race, Ethnicity, and Nationalism provides expert
insight into the complex, interconnected factors that are
influencing patterns of human relations worldwide in a time of
rising populist nationalism, intensified racial and religious
tensions, and mounting hostilities towards immigrants and
minorities. Analyzing the underlying forces which continue to drive
global trends, this volume examines contemporary patterns based on
the most recent evidence spanning five continents--offering a
diversity of interpretations, models and perspectives that address
the challenges facing the study of race, ethnicity, and
nationalism. The Companion features original contributions by both
established experts and emerging scholars that explore an expansive
range of theoretical, historical, and empirical case studies.
Organized into five sections, the text first discusses growing
trends in the United States, the significance of populism in major
societies around the globe, and how global changes are influencing
regional variations in race, ethnicity, and nationalism. An
investigation of global migration patterns is followed by
examination of conflict and violence, from urban riots and boundary
disputes to warfare and genocide. The final section focuses on the
policy debates resulting from changing patterns and their impact on
politics, the economy, and society. Timely and highly relevant,
