The Effects of Incorporation into World-Systems on Ethnic Processes: Lessons from the Ancient World for the Contemporary World
Author(s)Hall, Thomas D.
AbstractIncorporation into world-systems shapes the processes by which ethnic groups are formed, transformed and destroyed. Evidence from ancient ethnic processes shows that ethnic homogeneity has been rare since the first creation of states. Diversity is created and transformed by world-systems and states through incorporation. Furthermore, the processes that give rise to diversity as well as ethnic conflicts are considered part of modernity and the normal functioning of world-systems and states.
