Publisher's Synopsis
This series of 8 books, published in association with the European Science Foundation, looks at the problems associated with ethnic groups and minorities over a time span of a hundred years, from the middle of the 19th Century to the beginning of the ? Second World War i.e. the peak years for national conflicts in Europe. Key features of the project are a selective thematic approach and the application of comparative methods. Eight themes were selected for detailed attention and a distinguished team of contributors, representing a variety of disciplines ? history, theology, education, law, sociology, anthropology and geography ? were recruited from all over Europe. The resulting eight volumes represent a major contribution to the study of ethnic groups and will be of some interest to academics, politicians and all who are interested in issues relating to ethnic minorities, not only in Europe, but throughout the world.
