Description
This is an exploration of the links between ethnicity and population processes in the context of nation-building. Each chapter focuses on a different part of the world where themes of ethnic-group formation and transformation, persistence and assimilation, demographic transitions and convergences, and the processes of political mobilization and economic development, are described, compared and analyzed. The areas discussed include South-East Asia, Africa, the Soviet republics, and Israel.
