Description: 
Stark political changes in the 1980s—the disintegration of multi-ethnic states
and the displacement of some ethnic groups from their homelands—produced
complex and contested changes in ethnicity, homogenization, and the rise of
nationalism. Ethnic phenomena are tightly intertwined with political and
social processes going on across the world and are contingent on specific
geographical, socio-political, and cultural contexts. The diversity of
ethnicity-related manifestations today has resulted in a variety of scholarly
approaches, from questioning the relevance of the idea of ethnicity in modern
cosmopolitan societies and studying ethnic relations in a broader context of
social and cultural relations to underscoring a specific nature of ethnic
identity among other identities and the effect of the conceptualization of
ethnicity problems on the lives of concrete ethnic groups.
Rather than theorising over general tendencies, concepts, and terminology,
this collection presents various in-depth case studies of ethnicity-related
issues in concrete geographical and socio-political contexts using research
paradigms drawn from linguistics, social, cultural, and media studies.

The collection will address (though is not limited to) the following
questions:
- To what degree are ethnicity problems relevant in the world at present? The
answers are dependent on concrete contexts and are expected to differ from
country to country.
- Do ethnic causes such as movements for ethnic minorities’ rights correlate
with broader democracy movements in multi-ethnic non-democratic countries?
- What traditional ethnic boundary markers are relevant today in various
socio-political and cultural contexts?
- How is the phenomenon of ethnicity viewed both by insiders belonging to an
ethnic group and outsiders belonging to other groups? How do ethnic group
members describe themselves, and how are they described by others?
- How is ethnic identity manifested in everyday life or in some specific
contexts? To what degree are ethnic self-identification and self-ascription
related to, and dependent on, feelings and emotions? How are the ideas and
feelings of togetherness and otherness revealed?
- What are the stereotypes of ethnic groups about themselves, and what
stereotypes do outsiders hold about them?
