About the Book
In most academic discussions, ethnicity is often examined either within specific societies or within the broader context of world society. However, this book presents a distinct perspective by arguing that understanding the variations within and across societies is crucial to addressing contemporary issues surrounding ethnicity. The author, T.K. Oommen, offers a fresh analysis of the relationship between the nation, ethnicity, and citizenship, highlighting the complexities of identity in a globalized world.
Oommen contends that the nation is the product of a fusion of territory and language, not religion or race. The separation of people from their homeland forms what is known as an "ethnie." Citizenship, therefore, is both a status and a set of obligations, shaping the role individuals play within their national or ethnic communities.
This work examines three historical situations—colonialism and European expansion, Communist internationalism, and the nation-state's drive for cultural unity—to provide empirical depth to the argument. The book challenges conventional notions of identity, proposing a new way to think about the relationship between nationality and ethnicity in contemporary societies.
Essential reading for students of sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies, this book aims to reconcile competing identities by focusing on the central roles of territory, language, and citizenship in the construction of national identities.
