“…My study relies on an approach to ethnic categories, which is rooted in Weber’s (1978) definition of ethnicity first published in 1922. Defining “ethnic groups,” Weber (1978: 389) stresses the “subjective belief in […] common descent” existing independently of “an objective blood relation.” This criterion is still seen to be crucial for defining ethnic categories and ethnicity (Bös, 2005: 322, 2008: 57; Jenkins, 2008: 10). Authors such as Bös (2005), Brubaker (2004), Fearon and Laitin (2000), Jenkins (2008), and Karner (2007) elaborate on this notion of ethnicity.…”
