This collection seeks to advance understanding of the shifting character and salience of ethnicity by abandoning the debate between the assimilationist and the cultural pluralist. The case studies presented define culture as a flexible tool, ethnicity as a complex and variable phenomenon, and social actors as knowledgeable agents who make their own history
