This interdisciplinary collection addresses the position of
minorities in democratic societies, with a particular focus on
minority rights and recognition. For the first time, it brings
together leading international authorities on ethnicity,
nationalism and minority rights from both social and political
theory, with the specific aim of fostering further debate between
the disciplines. In their introduction, the editors explore the
ways in which politics and sociology can complement each other in
unravelling the many contradictory aspects of complex phenomena.
Topics addressed include the constructed nature of ethnicity, its
relation to class and to ''new racism'', different forms of
nationalism, self determination and indigenous politics, the
politics of recognition versus the politics of redistribution, and
the re-emergence of cosmopolitanism. This book is essential reading
for all those involved in the study of ethnicity, nationalism and
minority rights.
