| | Ethnicity-Syllabus |
 | | It has long been assumed that as societies modernize (that is, as urbaniza-tion, democratization, access to education, etc., increases), ethnic identities would have less hold on individuals and that ethnic conflict would become less likely. |
 | | However, despite the steady march of modernization around the globe, ethnicity would not appear to be on the wane, in fact, even in the most modernized societies ethnicity seems to be reasserting itself. |
 | | This course will explore the nature of group identities, particularly ethnic identities, and their social and political significance. |
