Offering fresh perspectives on perennial questions of ethnicity, race, nationalism,
and religion, Rogers Brubaker makes manifest the forces that shape the politics of
diversity and multiculturalism today. In a lucid and wide-ranging analysis, he contends
that three recent developments have altered the stakes and the contours of the politics
of difference: the return of inequality as a central public concern, the return of
biology as an asserted basis of racial and ethnic difference, and the return of religion
as a key terrain of public contestation. The cultural and discursive turn that drew
students of identity away from the study of structural inequalities in recent decades
has now run its course. At a moment of heightened public and scholarly concern with
deepening inequality, Grounds for Difference shows how categories of difference such
as race, ethnicity, and gender get built into enduring structures of inequality.
In the aftermath of the Human Genome Project, newly influential genetic understandings
of human difference threaten to naturalize both difference and inequality. Brubaker
critically engages the new ethnoracial naturalism and assesses how genetic perspectives
have transformed understandings and practices of race and ethnicity in biomedical
research, criminal forensics, popular genealogy, and identity politics. The resurgence
of public religion in recent decades likewise has major implications for how we understand
the politics of difference. Brubaker explains why the most intensely contested struggles
over cultural difference today tend to involve religion, confounding longstanding
expectations about continued secularization. -- Provided by publisher
