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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eGrounds for Difference\u003c\/i\u003e is a subtle, original, and comprehensive book. All the hallmarks of Brubaker's earlier work, such as the conceptual clarity, the theoretical rigor--grounded in a well-researched and well-informed analysis--the crisp writing style, and the impeccable sociological reasoning are displayed here. There is a wealth of original ideas developed in this book that requires much careful reading and unpacking.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Sinisa Malesevic, \u003ci\u003eH-Net Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"This is an imposing collection that will be another milestone in the literature of ethnicity and nationalism.\"\u003cbr\u003e--Christian Joppke, University of Bern\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBrubaker, Rogers:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Rogers Brubaker is Professor of Sociology and UCLA Foundation Chair at the University of California, Los Angeles.","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50326996287762,"sku":"9780674975453","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_d7e173c5-5e76-4f15-bfe4-4061050ac3cb.jpg?v=1727708045","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/grounds-for-difference-9780674975453","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
