Geography & Ethnic Pluralism

<p><em>Geography & Ethnic Pluralism</em> (1984) examines the debate around pluralism – the segmentation of population by race and culture – as a social and state issue and explores this issue in Third World and metropolitan contexts. The field is opened up by a re-examination of the seminal work of J.S. Furnivall and M.G. Smith and by exploring the significance of racial and cultural diversity in colonial post-colonial and metropolitan situations. Case studies written by specialists are presented in each chapter; they represent a wide range of locales indicating the global nature of the theme and emphasising the variable significance of ethnicity in different situations.</p>
