Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Identity, now in paperback, reflects the consequences of rapid change as well as the impact of longstanding social values. Contributors from a number of different countries use a variety of methodological approaches (empirical, quantitative, qualitative, historical, and case study, among others) to analyze important issues. These include anti-Semitism, stereotyping, militarism, authoritarianism, postmodernism, moral development, gender, patriarchy, theory of the state, critical educational theory, Europeanization, and democratic public policy options as related to competing choices among monocultural and multicultural policy options.
In addition, contributors examine the situation of minorities in their respective national settings. Chapters cover the impact of mass media, culture, patriotism, and other universal values. This cross-national study is a unique addition to the literature on multiculturalism.
This collection of essays traverses much of the terrain of nationalism, identity, national stereotypes, political socialization, racism the book is a mine of information about these subjects and others touching upon them." —William Safran, University of Colorado at Boulder
"Nationalism, Ethnicity, and Identity offers an often fascination look at how contemporary social scientists are approaching the study of nationalism and ethnicity."—Aaron Berman, Hampton College
