This collection offers a fresh perspective on the ongoing debates on these questions in the social sciences and the humanities by focusing specifically on one theoretical proposition, namely, that the seemingly universal processes of identity formation and exclusion of the 'other' can be differentiated according to three modalities. All contributors directly engage with rigorous empirical testing and theoretical cross-examination of this proposition. Their results have direct implications not only for a more differentiated understanding of collective identities, but also for a better understanding of extreme collective violence and genocide. 606 $aGroup identity 606 $aOther (Philosophy) 606 $aViolence 606 $aSociology & Social History$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Change$2HILCC 615 0$aGroup identity. 615 0$aOther (Philosophy) 615 0$aViolence. 615 7$aSociology & Social History 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aSocial Change 676 $a302.4 686 $a71.62$2bcl 702 $aGingrich$b André 702 $aGingrich$b Andrâe 702 $aBaumann$b Gerd 712 02$aEuropean Association of Social Anthropologists 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966893103321 996 $aGrammars of identity$94450311 997 $aUNINA
