Inhaltsangabe

On the eve of the twenty-first century, the world reveals extremely disturbing levels of social violence. Regardless of major strides in science, technology, and economic development, a number of regions of the world, including Eastern Europe, the Mid-East, parts of Africa, and the Caribbean, are remarkable for their patterns of spectacular intergroup hatred and destructive patterns of intergroup relations. What do such events reveal? Graham C. Kinloch, with his comparative experience in Southern Africa, New Zealand, Hawaii, the America Midwest and South, combined with insight provided by analyses of minority group relations in a variety of societies, in this work outlines some of the major historical, demographic, economic, and sociocultural factors behind intergroup relations, both worldwide and within the United States. This book focuses on the central elements behind different kinds of intergroup relations worldwide, attempting to develop a general approach to such matters and draw specific policy implications regarding needed social change to alleviate some of the problems many of these societies experience.
