Series Information

Ethnic Diversity Within Nations

Serbs and Croats in the former Yugoslavia. Muslims and Christians in Nigeria. French- and English-speaking Canadians. Why do some fight? Why do others get along? What in these nations' pasts breeds strife or fosters harmony? No questions are more critical to today's world; no books answer them better than Ethnic Diversity Within Nations.

Exploring the past, making sense of the present—this series examines the ethnic complexity of modern nation-states around the world.

Can't we all just get along? As the books in the Ethnic Diversity Within Nations series demonstrate, it's not always that simple. It starts with history. Nation-state by nation-state, each title in this series exhaustively explores the ethnic past to understand the ethnic present of countries around the world—from the ancient origins of the original inhabitants, to the stories of immigrants, settlers, and conquerors, to today's headlines of conflict and cooperation.
