Updated with a large proportion of new readings and extended editorial summaries, it presents a highly accessible introduction to the study of ethnicity by providing an original approach to nationalism, multiculturalism and migration.

Many of the selections deal with the role of ethnicity in groups which are not nationalist at all but for which ethnicity is an important factor in the process of migration.
