PDF-(BOOK)-Ethnicity without Groups

Despite a quartercentury of constructivist theorizing in the social sciences and humanities ethnic groups continue to be conceived as entities and cast as actors Journalists policymakers and researchers routinely frame accounts of ethnic racial and national conflict as the struggles of internally homogeneous externally bounded ethnic groups races and nations In doing so they unwittingly adopt the language of participants in such struggles and contribute to the reification of ethnic groupsIn this timely and provocative volume Rogers Brubakerwell known for his work on immigration citizenship and nationalismchallenges this pervasive and commonsense groupism But he does not simply revert to standard constructivist tropes about the fluidity and multiplicity of identity Once a bracing challenge to conventional wisdom constructivism has grown complacent even cliched That ethnicity is constructed is commonplace this volume provides new insights into how it is constructed By shifting the analytical focus from identity to identifications from groups as entities to groupmaking projects from shared culture to categorization from substance to process Brubaker shows that ethnicity race and nation are not things in the world but perspectives on the world ways of seeing interpreting and representing the social world.
