About the Book

In Cultural Identity and Ethnicity, Ravi Chaturvedi delves into some of the most pressing cultural issues of our time. The book examines the complex phenomenon of identity crisis, the creation of a new national culture, and the conflicts arising from regional imbalances in economic development and power-sharing. These challenges are heightened by the fear of the erosion of indigenous values and the challenges posed by globalization and the rise of cyber streams.

At the heart of these issues lies the critical exploration of cultural identity and ethnicity, which are intrinsically linked to the politics of nationalism, national integration, and political contests. The text explores how these elements define the sense of nation, community, and ethnic roots. The book not only addresses the social and political implications of these cultural issues but also reflects on their aesthetic aspects, giving readers a multifaceted perspective on intercultural phenomena.

Chaturvedi’s insightful writing aims to carefully treat these complex topics, providing a thorough examination of how culture and identity are shaped by and shape the larger social and political landscape. This is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the intersections of cultural identity, nationalism, and global influence.
