Race and Ethnicity: Comparative and Theoretical Approaches

"This ground-breaking volume tackles the hard issues – war, genocide, ethnic conflict, and violence – as well as why ethnic cooperation, assimilation, and accommodation occurs. Global in its scope, this book provides an important overview of the complexity of ethnicity and brings together the very best social science thinking on the topic. It should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand this central problem of our times." Mary C. Waters, Harvard University

"This theory-rich, globally oriented, and well-organized volume adds to our knowledge of ethnoracial issues. A significant contribution to the literature, Race and Ethnicity is highly recommended." Milton Vickerman, University of Virginia
