These attempts, whether through American efforts to divide the US population into mutually exclusive racial categories, or through the Soviet system of inscribing nationality categories on internal passports, have important implications not only for people's own identities and life chances, but for national political and social processes as well. The book reviews the history of these categorizing efforts by the state, and offers a theoretical context for examining them, illustrating the case with studies from a range of countries.New perspectives on anthropological and social demography ;1.Census & IdentityCensusRaceCase studiesEthnicityCase studiesLinguistic demographyCase studiesCensus.RaceEthnicityLinguistic demography306.2Kertzer David I.1948-Arel Dominique1947-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910450277003321Census and identity1899654UNINA
