The second edition of "The Ethnicity Reader" offers a comprehensive
and engaging selection of readings for students of sociology,
politics, international relations and race relations. Updated with
a large proportion of new readings and extended editorial
summaries, the reader analyses the ethnic component present in
nationalism, multiculturalism and migration, making it
indispensable to those seeking to understand the relevance of
ethnicity as one of the most prominent forces in the modern world.
Drawing on a wide range of examples, the selections included
examine theories of nationalism and consider issues of ethnic
integration and conflict in the USA, Middle East, Northern Ireland,
Scotland, Quebec and Catalonia among other countries and regions.
The concept of ethnicity, however, is discussed not only in
relation to group rights in existing nation-states: many of the
selections deal with the role of ethnicity in groups which are not
nationalist at all but for which ethnicity is an important factor
in the process of migration, extending the focus to transnational
communities in a globalized world.
Contributors include Benedict Anderson, Etienne Balibar, James
Clifford, Eric Hobsbawm, Michael Keating, Will Kymlicka, Tariq
Modood, John Rex, Anthony D. Smith, Michel Wieviorka, and Franke
Wilmer.
