Ethnicity has been a key concept in anthropology and sociology for
many years, yet many people still seem uncertain as to its meaning,
its relevance, and its relationship to other concepts such as
'race' and nationalism. In "Ethnicity: Anthropological
Construction" the major anthropological and Sociological approaches
to ethnicity, covering much of the significant literature and
leading authors, are outlind clearly and concisely.
The term, ethnicity, has been used to describe human social
interaction, but particularly in relation to groups that would
previously have been described as 'tribes', and to minority migrant
groups and their 'host societies'. Certain classic works are
discussed and particular attention is paid to the considerable
literature on ethnic minorities in Britain and the United States.
Two case studies--on 'ethnic cleansing' in Bosnia, and accusations
of racism in a British school dispute---are presented to
demonstarte how concepts of ethnicity, 'race' and nationalism have
recently been used by the public and press.
This book constructs an intellectual history of ethnicity, and
argues that while it has become an overused concept in the
anthropological vocabulary, it is finding increasing use in public
language and thought.
