Description

This is a comparative collection of essays on ethnic and racial minorities - showing that there is a common ground shared by those in advanced industrial democracies that differentiates them from Third World and communist countries. The study offers a synthesis of diverse minorities and those who have focused on recent immigrant populations. The analysis considers why ethnic and racial conflict and disadvantages endure. It points to ways that societies are organized economically and politicaly and linked into the international political economy.
