Abstract

This volume examines the concept of ethnic domination and its manifestations in Israel (within the Green Line) and Estonia. Ethnic domination is a method of managing ethnic differences in multiethnic contexts through asymmetrical power relations, in accordance with an ethnonationalist ideology, whereby a group is subordinated to another holding the power, albeit not intent to directly eliminate the subaltern. The volume compares the predicament of Israeli Palestinian citizens and Estonian Russian-speakers in different dimensions (state-citizenship, government-parliament, parties). Also, the analysis explains the divergent trajectories of the cases: the tightening of the condition of Israeli Palestinian citizens and the democratization of ethnic politics in Estonia.

Abstract

First Nationalism Then Identity focuses on the case of Bosnian Muslims, a rare historic instance of a new nation emerging. Although for Bosnian Muslims the process of national emergence and the assertion of a new salient identity have been going on for over two decades, Mirsad Kriještorac is the first to explain the significance of the whole process and how the adoption of their new Bosniak identity occurred. He provides a historical overview of Yugoslav and Bosnian Slavic Muslims' transformation into a full-fledged distinct and independent national group as well as addresses the important question in the field of nationalism studies about the relationship between and workings of nationalism and identity. While this book is noteworthy for ordinary readers interested in the case of Bosnian Muslims, it is an important contribution to the scholarly debate on the role of nationalism in the political life of a group and adds an interdisciplinary perspective to comparative politics scholarship by drawing from anthropology, history, geography, and sociology.

Abstract

Two years after the first book "Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in Word and Image: Slovenes 1, Styria, Porabje and Prekmurje, Carinthia" (2016) has been published, is now out also the second book: "Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in Word and Image: Slovenes 2", presenting Kranjska (Carniola) and Primorje (Coastal region). Both books make the whole picture of Slovenes as included in the monumental book series "Die österreichisch-ungarische Monarchie in Wort und Bild" which was projected by the archeduke Rudolf and was published between 1884-1902. Translated are the chapters which discuss life, culture and economy of Slovenes living in Austro-Hungarian monarchy. Prevailing are the ethnographical descriptions of the regions, the presentation of inhabitants and their position in the context of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and other countries of that time. The authors are of different profiles and interests, and their studies are important sources for Slovenian culture and economy which was up till now too often overlooked.

Abstract

Pointing at ambivalences and inconsistencies, contradictory expectations, nationalistic and pragmatic points of view, this study shows parts of the becoming, being and remaining (or not) Danish in Germany. Using qualitative methods and a constructivist approach, Levke Bittlinger examines questions of minority- and nationhood with regard to actors and the main institutions within the Danish minority in the Southern Schleswig region. The research ranges from the backgrounds of people becoming Danish in the postwar time to today's parents sending their children to Danish institutions for social and material matters. The study reaches from the analysis of the role of the Danish school system, the cultural association including their expectations on new Danish people concerning their integration into the minority to the importance of symbols, practices and historical myths for constructing a minority belonging.

Abstract

Promotor e interveniente nas célebres "Conferências do Casino", historiador da literatura, introdutor em Portugal dos estudos linguísticos e da pedagogia, Adolfo Coelho (1847-1919) foi também - a par de Teófilo Braga, Consiglieri Pedroso, Leite de Vasconcelos e Rocha Peixoto - uma das figuras decisivas na constituido e desenvolvimento inicial da antropologia em Portugal. A cultura ... cigana e a sua língua ... constituem antes de mais urna curiosa possibilidade etnográfica: olhar o exótico no interior da cultura do observador. Efectivamente; embora partilhem os mesmos antepassados civilizacionais e lingüísticos que os seus hospedes europeus ..., os Ciganos apresentam uma organização social muito próxima da sua ascendêcia indiana, melhor dizendo, hindú e, nesta medida, irredutível à morfologia social predominante na Europa.
