KlappentextIn this extensively revised edition, Steve Fenton updates his
concise and accessible introduction to ethnicity, drawing on new
published work and recent social and historical changes. Discussing
an extended range of theorists and illustrations from around the
world, Fenton explores and clarifies the core meanings and the
shifting ground of this contested concept. More space is given to
ideas of 'threat' and 'competition' in conceptualizing ethnicity,
as well as to recent issues in migration, especially increased
migration to the US from Central and South America. Fenton situates
ethnic identities and interest in the changing modern world, and
seeks to explain the contemporary conditions of delineation along
ethnic and racial lines. Without assuming the centrality of ethnic
difference, this book asks: Does it matter? When does it matter? Is
it as important as many have assumed?
The second edition of Fenton's highly regarded Ethnicity
will continue to be an invaluable text for students of sociology,
politics and international relations coming to the subject for the
first time. Its innovative and challenging approach will also
appeal to more advanced scholars of race and ethnicity.
