By the end of the 20th century, the ethnic question had resurfaced
in public debate. Every country had been affected by what is
commonly known as cultural pluralism, as a result of conflicts
interpreted from an ethnic perspective, for instance, in the
Balkans and central Africa; nationalist struggles, such as the
Basque country, Quebec and Belgium; and demands for recognition and
political representation by new ethnic minorities. This resurgence
or extension of the salience of ethnicity in most of the societies
around the world can now be found not only in public discourse,
policy making, scientific literature and popular representation,
but also in the pivotal realm of statistics. This volume explores
the ethnic and racial classification in official statistics as a
reflection of the representations of population, and as an
interpretation of social dynamics through a different lens.
Spanning all continents, a wide range of international authors
discuss how ethnic and racial classifications are built, their
(lack of) accuracy and their contribution to the representation of
ethnic and racial diversity of multicultural societies. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial
Studies.
