The New Ethnicity is characterized more by a cutting of roots than a cultivation of them, particularly among descendants of recent European immigrants to America. The authors hold that the American Dream, including its melting pot imagery, was sought by immigrants from Ireland or eastern, central, and southern Europe, not imposed by xenophobic WASPs. Thus The Ethnic Imperative is partly a rejoinder to apologists for the New White Ethnic movement, partly a sympathetic critique of the movement and, by extension, of all movements premised on the biosocial nature of ethnicity. Three centuries of Euro-American history are reviewed in order to establish a psycho-social base from which to view the New Ethnicity as what La Barre calls a "crisis cult." A distinction is made between current ideological ethnicity and the prior unselfconscious behavioral ethnicity. The latter subsumes the preservation of intracultural values while the former involves a rejection of the American Dream. The liberating American Dream is contrasted with the equally powerful--and often constraining--doctrine and practice of American Conformity. The post-World War II period of liberation for recent Americans is viewed psychoanalytically as the triumph of the "son" generation, while the assassination of idealized leaders symbolized loss of faith in the American Dream. Mounting rebelliousness by youths and Blacks led many "white ethnics" to embrace neo-fundamentalisms and neo-orthodoxies. The traditional "Southern" ethos of localism and separatism, with which the New White Ethnicity is often compared, is shown as a recurring nationwide rationalization of caste or race position--no matter how unrewarding that position may be. La Barre calls it "one-downmanship." Implicitly, The Ethnic Imperative is a brief for the American Dream of "E pluribus unum." And as Weston La Barre says of the authors in his foreword, "their ideas will have a still wider bearing in the future world village."

To the unfamiliar, two major ethnic communities - the Khasi and the Garo, living in Meghalaya appear to be homogenous ones. In reality, however, they are the heterogeneous groups socially, politically and culturally, defined by distinct tribal and clan markers. Each one of them ruled their own kingdoms until they were brought under the British rule in the 19th Century. Consequently, their territories merged with the undivided Assam, and lately, carved out as a full fledged State of Meghalaya in 1972. Soon after attaining Statehood, tensions cropped up between the indigenous communities and migrants mainly control over economic opportunities. However, these days, the goal post has slowly shifted towards the internal feuds among the indigenous tribes and finally, started ethnicity-based autonomy movements within the State. With this background, the paper attempts to analyze rationale and practicability of autonomy demands asserted by different ethnic groups.

In this study of struggles for ethnoterritorial autonomy, Bethany Lacina explains regional elites’ decision whether or not to fight for autonomy, and the central government’s response to this decision. In India, the prime minister’s respective electoral ties to separate, rival regional interests determine whether ethnoterritorial demands occur and whether they are repressed or accommodated. Using new data on ethnicity and sub-national discrimination in India, national and state archives, parliamentary records, cross-national analysis and her original fieldwork, Lacina explains ethnoterritorial politics as a three-sided interaction of the center and rival interests in the periphery. Ethnic entrepreneurs use militancy to create national political pressure in favor of their goals when the prime minister lacks clear electoral reasons to court one regional group over another. Second, ethnic groups rarely win autonomy or mobilize for violence in regions home to electorally influential anti-autonomy interests. Third, when a regional ethnic majority is politically important to the prime minister, its leaders can deter autonomy demands within their borders, while actively discriminating against minorities. Rival Claims challenges the conventional beliefs that territorial autonomy demands are a reaction to centralized power and that governments resist autonomy to preserve central prerogatives. The center has allegiances in regional politics, and ethnoterritorial violence reflects the center’s entanglement with rival interests in the periphery.

The book analyses the study of the growing field of ethnicity and politics from a number of different angles. These include the nature of the subject itself, different theoretical approaches, ways of addressing political issues the relationship gives rise to, the impact of major global challenges and a survey of output in the field. Comprehensive text book makes great course reading. Questions of identity, particularly ethnicity, play an increasingly important role in people’s lives. They are also of growing significance in both domestic and international politics. The increased attention to these issues has been matched by the mushrooming of scholarship in the field of ethnicity and politics. The chapters in this survey of recent analytical developments examine the contribution that this literature has made within the broad area of comparative politics within the discipline of political science. They are written by experts active in the international network of scholars that has been devoted to the study of this subject. The question of what we mean when we use ethnic terminology is rigorously interrogated. And the major theoretical approaches to the study of ethnicity and politics are critically examined. Ways of addressing ethnic diversity are debated under the wide headings of accommodation and integration. The issue of ethnicity in world politics is considered through an analysis of how watersheds of the last 25 years, including the end of the Cold War, 9/11 and the global economic downturn have impacted on the study of the subject. Also analysed is the output of publications in scholarly journals that has addressed this subject area. From the Contents: Ethnicity – What are we talking about?

Decades after the first multicultural reforms were introduced in Latin America, Afrodescendant people from the region are still disproportionately impoverished, underserved, policed, and incarcerated. In Nicaragua, Afrodescendants have mobilized to confront this state of siege through the politics of black autonomy. For women and men grappling with postwar violence, black autonomy has its own cultural meanings as a political aspiration and a way of crafting selfhood and solidarity. Jennifer Goett's ethnography examines the race and gender politics of activism for autonomous rights in an Afrodescedant Creole community in Nicaragua. Weaving together fifteen years of research, Black Autonomy follows this community-based movement from its inception in the late 1990s to its realization as an autonomous territory in 2009 and beyond. Goett argues that despite significant gains in multicultural recognition, Afro-Nicaraguan Creoles continue to grapple with the day-to-day violence of capitalist intensification, racialized policing, and drug war militarization in their territories. Activists have responded by adopting a politics of autonomy based on race pride, territoriality, self-determination, and self-defense. Black Autonomy shows how this political radicalism is rooted in African diasporic identification and gendered cultural practices that women and men use to assert control over their bodies, labor, and spaces in an atmosphere of violence.
