An indispensable reference that will help students understand the
major ethnic conflicts that dominate the headlines and shape the
modern world. Since World War II, significant conflicts have most
often taken the form of acts of violence between ethnic or national
communities inside individual states. This two-volume work uses
case studies to explore some four dozen of those conflicts, making
it an ideal first-stop reference for students and others who wish
to quickly gain an understanding of ethnic struggles. Content from
the first edition is updated and new entries on recent conflicts
have been added. The set's geographical range, which encompasses
nearly every continent, is matched by the diversity of the
conflicts explored. These include internal conflicts such as those
experienced by African Americans in the United States and Muslims
in France, as well as separatist movements of groups like the
Chechens in Russia and Bosnians in Yugoslavia. Headline-making
conflicts-for example, those in Mali and Syria-are covered as well.
The book is organized alphabetically by country and region. Each
essay begins with a timeline and then explores the historical
background, evolution, efforts to manage, and significance of the
conflict. Suggestions for follow-up research and appendices of
relevant, primary source materials are also included. Presents
comprehensive coverage of ethnic conflicts that enables readers to
comprehend recent events around the world Contains updates and
revisions to the first edition and new entries on more current
conflicts Features cases that are both relevant and topical,
covering the vast majority of the conflicts that are spilling
blood, affecting policies, and shaping the contemporary world
Includes primary documents that support the text, allowing students
to use hard evidence in their research Supports the National
Geography Standards by examining cultural mosaics and conflict
