Ethnicities and Global Multiculture: Pants for an Octopus
ISBN: 9780742540637 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Arguing that ethnicity and multiculturalism are essential for understanding globalization, Jan Nederveen Pieterse offers one of the first sustained treatments of the reach of these key forces beyond a limited national context. He shows that multiethnicity preceded the nation-state by millennia; but argues that states, feeling the threat to their national identities, seek to control or suppress it. Contemporary multiculturalism, another attempt to regulate multiethnicity, is a work in progress in which dramas of global inequality are played out. This groundbreaking book adopts a kaleidoscopic...
