<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> What does it mean to "fit in?" In this volume of essays, editors Günther Schlee and Alexander Horstmann demystify the discourse on identity, challenging common assumptions about the role of sameness and difference as the basis for inclusion and exclusion. Armed with intimate knowledge of local systems, social relationships, and the negotiation of people's positions in the everyday politics, these essays tease out the ways in which ethnicity, religion and nationalism are used for social integration.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p> <em>"Schlee and Horstmann as the book's editors must be congratulated on combining a variety of perspectives from around the globe on how differences and sameness may either contribute to or prohibit unity. In this regard, Schlee's introduction provides a helpful analysis of four models...[It] consists of proper scholarly research well substantiated by references and would therefore serve as good scholarly material. The presentation of the data is not too difficult for a non-specialist who is interested in inter-cultural engagement. In this regard, this collection should attract a wide audience."</em> <strong>- Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (JRAI)</strong></p> <p> <em>"While conflict remains the dominant trope in the analysis of ethnic diversity, the book accrues its value in emphasising coexistence as a mode of managing diversity."</em> <strong>- Social Anthropology/Anthropologie Sociale</strong></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>Günther Schlee</strong> is Director emeritus of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle, Germany.
