Here ethnicity is characterized as positive, and as such, moral and pragmatic. Despite ethnicity's natural inclination to polarization, a national community can be reconstructed, as is exemplified by recent events in Rwanda, Cyprus, India, Palestine, and China.EthnicityPolitical aspectsAfrica, Sub-SaharanEthnicityPolitical aspectsDeveloping countriesCultural pluralismAfrica, Sub-SaharanCultural pluralismDeveloping countriesNation-buildingAfrica, Sub-SaharanNation-buildingDeveloping countriesAfrica, Sub-SaharanEthnic relationsDeveloping countriesEthnic relationsElectronic books.EthnicityPolitical aspectsEthnicityPolitical aspectsCultural pluralismCultural pluralismNation-buildingNation-building305.800967Saha Santosh C.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910465505503321Ethnicity and sociopolitical change in Africa and other developing countries2186369UNINA
