| Abstract: | An exploration of race and ethnic relations in the English settler countries: the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Rhodesia. Three underlying themes recur in the book: 1 - Contemporary race and ethnic relations are best under stood when viewed from histQrical, comparative and, where possible, diverse disciplinary perspectives. 2 - Comparative research of countries with somewhat similar cultural background provides a sounder basis for generating empirically testable hypotheses than do comparative studies of countries with widely disparate cultural heritages. 3 - Race and ethnic (or intergroup) relations, when shorn of extraneous factors, are best understood as types of group power contests. |
