Summary "This collection examines the ways in which relations between members of national, ethnic, cultural and gender groups are underpinned by each group's perceptions of their distinctive identities and of the nature of the boundaries which divide them. Questions of boundary and identity are confronted in detailed ethnographic case studies, ranging from Australasia and the Indian subcontinent to Europe and the Americas."--BOOK JACKET.
