by Richard P Jenkins
Paperback / softback
Description
"A welcome and brilliantly crafted overview of this field.
It represents a major advance in our understanding of how ethnicity works in specific social and cultural contexts.
The second edition will be an invaluable resource for both students and researchers alike." - John Solomos, City University, LondonThe first edition of Rethinking Ethnicity quickly established itself as a popular text for students of ethnicity and ethnic relations.
This fully revised and updated second edition adds new material on globalization and the recent debates about whether ethnicity matters and ethnic groups actually exist. While ethnicity - as a social construct - is imagined, its effects are far from imaginary.
Jenkins draws on specific examples to demonstrate the social mechanisms that construct ethnicity and the consequences for people's experience.
Drawing upon rich case study material, the book discusses such issues as: the 'myth' of the plural society; postmodern notions of difference; the relationship between ethnicity, 'race' and nationalism; ideology; language; violence and religion; and the everyday construction of national identity.
