The sociology of ethnic relations

Abstract: The sociological problems presented by ethnic relations should be distinguished from problems of social policy. The foundations for a micro-sociology of ethnic relations laid by Max Weber in 1906-11 have to be inter-related with the macro-sociological contexts within which ethnic groups are constructed by collective action. When ethnic relations have their origin in trans-national migration, much depends on the immigrants' points of entry into the receiving society's scale of socio-economic status, and, therea… Show more

“…Firstly, ethnicity is considered one of many sources of identification, overlapping with some important others, among which social class and gender feature strongly (Banton 2008). Anthias and Yuval-Davis (1992) call not only for a distinction to be drawn between notions of ethnic identity and ethnicity, since the latter refers to a practical term expressing mobilization on the basis of ethnic ideas, but also for consideration of ethnicity's intersections with class and gender, as other prime social divisions.…”

“…In particular the twentieth century has persistently been described as the period when competing nationalist ideologies caused total wars: "European nationalism was a major force in the origins of both world wars of the twentieth century. However, as decades of sociological research show, not only is there no significant causality between violence and cultural difference (Brubaker 2004;Fearon and Laitin 1996;Laitin 2007), but cultural similarity by itself is a poor predictor of most social action (Banton 2008;Brubaker et al 2007; Malešević 2006). This "naturalist" approach often presumes that cultural similarity by itself is a principal driver of violent conflict (Malešević 2011: 143-46).…”
