The Political Anthropology of Ethnic and Religious Minorities: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Political Anthropology of Ethnic and Religious Minorities" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book presents some arguments for why a political anthropological perspective can be particularly helpful for understanding the connected political and cultural challenges and opportunities posed by the situation of ethnic and religious minorities. The first chapter shortly introduces the major anthropological concepts used, including liminality, trickster, imitation and schismogenesis; concepts that are used together with approaches of historical sociology and genealogy, especially concerning the rise and fall of empires, and their lasting impact. The conceptual framework suggested here is particularly helpful for understanding how marginal places can become liminal, appearing suddenly at the center of political attention. The introduction also shows the manner in which minority existence can problematize the depersonalizing tendencies of modern globalization. Subsequent chapters demonstrate how the described political anthropological conceptual framework can be used in certain European regions, and in the case of certain ethnic and religious minority, and each illustrates that instead of charismatic leaders, trickster politicians are emerging and increasingly dominate, through the public sphere, the space of modern politics emptied of real presence.

The Political Anthropology of Ethnic and Religious Minorities
This book presents some arguments for why a political anthropological perspective can be particularly helpful for understanding the connected political and cultural challenges and opportunities posed by the situation of ethnic and religious minorities. The first chapter shortly introduces the major anthropological concepts used, including liminality, trickster, imitation, and schismogenesis; concepts that are used together with approaches of historical sociology and genealogy, especially concerning the rise and fall of empires, and their lasting impact. The conceptual framework suggested here is particularly helpful for understanding how marginal places can become liminal, appearing suddenly at the center of political attention. The introduction also shows the manner in which minority existence can problematize the depersonalizing tendencies of modern globalization. Subsequent chapters demonstrate how the political anthropological conceptual framework presented can be used for various European regions, through the cases of certain ethnic and religious minorities, and each illustrates that instead of charismatic leaders, trickster politicians are emerging and increasingly dominate, through the public sphere, the space of modern politics emptied of real presence.
