Armed with intimate knowledge of local systems, social relationships, and the negotiation of people’s positions in the everyday politics, these essays tease out the ways in which ethnicity, religion and nationalism are used for social integration.Integration and conflict studies.Assimilation (Sociology)Social integrationEthnic relationsEthnic conflictReligious toleranceCultural pluralismanthropology.basis for exclusion.basis for inclusion.challenging common assumptions.cultural anthropology.discourse on identity.ethnic demographic studies.ethnicity.everyday politics.fitting in.intimate knowledge.local systems.nationalism.negotiation of political positions.religion.role of difference.role of sameness.social integration.social relationships.Assimilation (Sociology)Social integration.Ethnic relations.Ethnic conflict.Religious tolerance.Cultural pluralism.303.48BE 2240rvkSchlee GüntherHorstmann AlexanderMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796501803321Difference and sameness as modes of integration3743329UNINA
