The Politics of Ethnic Survival

"The second edition of Cohen's classic on ethnic identity and group solidarity analyzes the construction of ethnic loyalty by the German-speaking minority of Prague during the second half of the nineteenth century as it faced the growth of an ever stronger Czech majority. Cohen takes into account new theories and findings since his work was first published in 1981 and interprets the initial data in the new theoretical context. References have been updated."--BOOK JACKET.
