Indigenous Peoples, Ethnic Groups, and the State (2nd Edition)

Indigenous Peoples, Ethnic Groups, and the State provides a concise introduction to the process of modernization and its effect on tribalism and ethnic parochialism. Part of the Cultural Survival Studies in Ethnicity and Change series, this text focuses on key issues affecting indigenous and ethnic groups worldwide. Ethnic conflicts proliferate throughout the world as indigenous peoples are becoming increasingly vocal in demanding their rights, including the right to be different. Readers are invited to reexamine their ideas about the state, the role of ethnicity in it, and the peculiar situation of indigenous peoples, who are ethnic minorities alien to the states in which they live.David Maybury-Lewis is the author of 'Indigenous Peoples, Ethnic Groups, and the State (2nd Edition)', published 2001 under ISBN 9780205337460 and ISBN 0205337465.
