This \u003ci\u003eReader \u003c\/i\u003eoffers the first comprehensive overview of the work of a central figure in the field of ethnic studies. The pieces collected here range from Puritan New England to contemporary Germany, from 'Exodus' to Mary Antin's \u003ci\u003ePromised Land\u003c\/i\u003e, from the 'Curse of Ham' to Teju Cole. They attest to Sollors' deep historical sensibilities, his attention to textual detail and his awareness of the costs and opportunities of both cosmopolitan ideals and particularist commitments, whilst addressing a central question: why does modernisation take the form of ethnicisation in many places around the globe? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe collected essays are complemented by a detailed introduction by Daniel G. Williams which foregrounds some of the key emphases and tensions in Sollors' writings.","brand":"Edinburgh University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47889693311127,"sku":"9781399536226","price":3715.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781399536226.webp?v=1781177371","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-werner-sollors-reader-ethnicity-cosmopolitanism-and-particularism-9781399536226","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
