Aristide R. Zolberg

Opis

The essays in "How Many Exceptionalisms?" span the long history of the intellectual output of Aristide Zolberg, one of the most distinguished social scientists of our time. In this collection, Zolberg shows his originality, insights, and breadth of thought as he addresses subjects including theories of immigration policy, the making of Belgium, and the origins of the modern world system. Writing over three decades and featuring many essays that have not been in wide circulation, Zolberg here draws from political science, cultural anthropology, sociology, and history to provide a configurative analysis of and long-term approach to the cultural diversity in Africa, Europe, and the United States.
