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. 606 $aEthnicity$xPolitical aspects$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aEthnicity$xPolitical aspects$zDeveloping countries 606 $aCultural pluralism$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aCultural pluralism$zDeveloping countries 606 $aNation-building$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aNation-building$zDeveloping countries 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xEthnic relations 607 $aDeveloping countries$xEthnic relations 615 0$aEthnicity$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aEthnicity$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aCultural pluralism 615 0$aCultural pluralism 615 0$aNation-building 615 0$aNation-building 676 $a305.800967 702 $aSaha$b Santosh C. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815492303321 996 $aEthnicity and sociopolitical change in Africa and other developing countries$94048876 997 $aUNINA
