Theories of Ethnicity: A Critical Appraisal (Contributions in Sociology) Book

Theories that explain the persistence and vitality of the "ethnic phenomenon" abound in sociological and anthropological literature.

Thompson offers systematic comparisons of current theories, testing both their internal consistency and their adequacy as analytical tools. Thompson devotes a chapter to each of the major theoretical traditions that now dominate the field of ethnicity: sociobiology, primordialism, assimilationism, world-system theory, and neo-Marxism. He describes the basic tenets of each theory and demonstrates that the "facts" they seek to explain are embedded within their theoretical assumptions.Read More
