 n the Modern World

DESCRIPTION:Elliott Green (LSE) explains how and why ethnicity changes ac
 ross 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 spe
 ci?cally\, 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 navigati
 ng the formal urban economy. Using large-scale datasets that span the gl
 obe as well as detailed case studies ranging from mid-twentieth-century 
 Turkey to contemporary Botswana\, Somalia and Uganda\, as well as eviden
 ce from Native Americans in the United States and the M?ori in New Zeala
 nd\, Industrialization and Assimilation provides a new framework to unde
 rstand the origins of modern ethnic identities.
