Ethnicity and nationalism are pervasive features of the contemporary world, but how far is ethnicity as a result of cultural differences, and how much does it actually depend on the practical application of such belief and belief in it? In this book, Thomas Hyland Eriksen shows that ethnicity, far from being an immutable property of groups, is a dynamic and changing aspect of social relations. Using a wide range of classic and recent studies in anthropology and sociology, Erikson examines the relationship between ethnicity, class, gender, and nation, as well as current issues of racism, globalization, and multiculturalism. Influential theories are presented and critically compared in a clear and comprehensive manner. A core text for all students of social anthropology and related subjects, Ethnicity and Nationalism has been a superior introduction to the field since its original publication in 1993. In the new chapters, there are recent studies related to immigration, cultural division, racism, gender, nationalism, and multicultural issues.
