Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Industrialization and Assimilation examines the process of ethnic identity change in a broad historical context. Green explains how and why ethnicity changes across time, showing that, by altering the basis of economic production from land to labour and removing people from the 'idiocy of rural life', industrialization makes societies more ethnically homogenous. More specically, the author argues that industrialization lowers the relative value of rural land, leading people to identify less with narrow rural identities in favour of broader identities that can aid them in navigating the formal urban economy. Using large-scale datasets that span the globe as well as detailed case studies ranging from mid-twentieth-century Turkey to contemporary Botswana, Somalia and Uganda, as well as evidence from Native Americans in the United States and the Maori in New Zealand, Industrialization and Assimilation provides a new framework to understand the origins of modern ethnic identities. This book appeals to anyone interested in ethnicity and nationalism and the origins of modern ethnic and national identities. It shows that state efforts at nation-building are less important in promoting assimilation than industrialization, which spurs the formation of broader identities via the declining value of rural land.
