What Is China? : Territory, Ethnicity, Culture, and History
Ge Zhaoguang, an eminent historian of traditional China and a public intellectual, takes on fundamental questions that shape the domestic and international politics of the world’s most populous country and its second largest economy.What Is China? offers an insider’s account that addresses sensitive problems of Chinese identity and shows how modern scholarship about China—whether conducted in China, East Asia, or the West—has attempted to make sense of the country’s shifting territorial boundaries and its diversity of ethnic groups and cultures. Ge considers, for example, the ancient concept of tianxia, or All-Under-Heaven, which assigned supremacy to the imperial court and lesser status to officials, citizens, tributary states, and tribal peoples.Does China’s government still operate with a belief in divine rule of All-Under-Heaven, or has it taken a different view of other actors, inside and outside its current borders?Responding both to Western theories of the nation-state and to Chinese intellectuals eager to promote “national learning,” Ge offers an insightful and erudite account of how China sees its place in the world.As he wrestles with complex historical and cultural forces guiding the inner workings of an often misunderstood nation, Ge also teases out many nuances of China’s encounter with the contemporary world, using China’s past to explain aspects of its present and to provide insight into various paths the nation might follow as the twenty-first century unfolds.

Policing Race, Ethnicity and Culture : Ethnographic Perspectives Across Europe
How to deal with differences based on culture, ethnicity and race, has become a key issue of policing.This edited collected explores everyday, often mundane interactions between police officers and migrantised actors in European countries and asks how both sides deal with perceived differences.The contributions reflect that such differences are not just ‘out there’ but are being situationally (re-)produced in police-citizen encounters.By taking a comparative approach, the book develops a distinctly European perspective on these questions.The book contains 12 ethnographies from ten European countries, based on new and often innovative empirical research, two theoretical contributions, an introduction and a postface. -- .

What is the difference between culture and ethnicity?
Culture refers to the shared beliefs, values, customs, and behaviors of a particular group of people, including their language, traditions, and social practices. It is learned and passed down from generation to generation. On the other hand, ethnicity refers to a person's identification with a particular racial, national, or cultural group, often based on shared ancestry, history, language, or religion. While culture is more about the shared practices and beliefs of a group, ethnicity is more about the shared identity and heritage of a group.

German is not considered an ethnicity, but rather a nationality or a cultural identity. Ethnicity refers to a shared cultural heritage, language, and ancestry, while being German typically refers to being a citizen of Germany or having cultural ties to the country. There are various ethnic groups within Germany, such as Bavarians, Saxons, and Swabians, but being German itself is not an ethnicity.

Ethnicity without Groups
Despite a quarter-century of constructivist theorizing in the social sciences and humanities, ethnic groups continue to be conceived as entities and cast as actors.Journalists, policymakers, and researchers routinely frame accounts of ethnic, racial, and national conflict as the struggles of internally homogeneous, externally bounded ethnic groups, races, and nations.In doing so, they unwittingly adopt the language of participants in such struggles, and contribute to the reification of ethnic groups. In this timely and provocative volume, Rogers Brubaker—well known for his work on immigration, citizenship, and nationalism—challenges this pervasive and commonsense “groupism.” But he does not simply revert to standard constructivist tropes about the fluidity and multiplicity of identity.Once a bracing challenge to conventional wisdom, constructivism has grown complacent, even cliched.That ethnicity is constructed is commonplace; this volume provides new insights into how it is constructed.By shifting the analytical focus from identity to identifications, from groups as entities to group-making projects, from shared culture to categorization, from substance to process, Brubaker shows that ethnicity, race, and nation are not things in the world but perspectives on the world: ways of seeing, interpreting, and representing the social world.

Social Work and Ethnicity
Originally published in 1982 Social Work and Ethnicity was the first purpose-written text for social work students, administrators and practitioners designed to prepare them conceptually and practically for work in Britain’s established ethnic minority communities.Much more than the vicissitudes of immigration now had to be considered: this book discusses social work’s response to chronic racial discrimination and disadvantage and the hazards and advantages of taking ethnicity into account in service delivery.Emphasised throughout is the role of the social services in promoting good race relations and a better deal for black people. Social Work and Ethnicity is based on research carried out by Mrs Cheetham and sponsored by the DHSS to identify the major concerns of social workers with ethnic minority clients and to study the development of relevant services in Britain and the USA.The contributing authors are mainly practitioners and come from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds; in fact, this is the first book on social work to be published in Britain to which a substantial contribution has been made by black writers.The specially commissioned contributions discuss the fundamental questions of principle in giving special consideration to ethnicity and underline the implications for practice.In particular, the lessons which Britain can learn from American experience are reviewed.The book opens with a discussion of political and ethical questions; the problems of assessing need and monitoring services are then examined.This is followed by several chapters on the special needs of various ethnic minority client groups, particularly children and young people, who now deserve priority attention.The tricky issue of ethnic matching is discussed, so too are the different methods of developing services which are appropriate to ethnic minority needs and aspirations.Recruitment, training and education for work in a multi-racial society are subjects for several chapters and the book concludes with the experiences of two ethnic minority social workers.This book is a re-issue originally published in 1982.The language used and assumptions made are a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.

Additionally, there are Jews from diverse ethnic backgrounds, including Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Mizrahi, and others, further illustrating that Judaism is not limited to one ethnicity.

Should everyone marry within their own ethnicity or at least a similar ethnicity?
It is not necessary for everyone to marry within their own ethnicity or a similar ethnicity. Love and compatibility are more important factors in a successful marriage than ethnicity. Inter-ethnic marriages can bring about cultural exchange and understanding, enriching the relationship. It is essential to focus on mutual respect, understanding, and communication in a marriage, regardless of ethnic backgrounds.
