Yinger, J. Milton, Ethnicity: Source of Strength? Source of Conflict? Albany, NY: State University of New York Press, 1994.


Abstract:

Ethnic lines will not disappear soon, because other ethnic groups in conflict mutually reinforce their antagonistic identities. The entire world must find ways to support cultural diversity without each ethnic group treating its traditional way as sacrosanct, which tends to make the traditional ways of others repugnant. Each society must find a way to give full rights to ethnic groups while maintaining diversity.
