Summary, etc. This book is a collection of papers pre-<br/>sented at an international conference on<br/>Ethnicity, Identity and the State in South<br/>Asia at the IACIS/ASRC in June 2000. The<br/>essays attempt review of the phenomenon<br/>of Ethnicity in the wake of the emerging<br/>confluence between the local and the global<br/>after globalization. To what extent the ear-<br/>lier discourses and paradigms of defining<br/>Ethnicity remain valid in an environment<br/>that has been overtaken by a blurring of<br/>distinctions between the concepts of race,<br/>ethnicity and identity, remains the focus of<br/>several of these essays. Linking these con-<br/>cepts to the role and the capacity of the<br/>State to manage the ethnic politics the es-<br/>says deal with the phenomenon of Ethnic-<br/>ity from fresh perspectives and have diverse<br/>opinions and 'solution'.<br/>The book is divided into three sections.<br/>The first Section provides a theoretical per-<br/>spective including an analysis of policies<br/>that generate, and sustain manifestations of<br/>Ethnicity. The second Section provides an<br/>analysis of the problem in Nepal, Myanmar<br/>and Sri Lanka. The next Section deals with<br/>the Indian experience with several essays<br/>on India's North East.<br/>A welcome addition to the existing re-<br/>sources, the volume provides insights into a<br/>problem that has eluded effective solutions<br/>and will continue to engage the attention of<br/>serious scholars and policy makers in South<br/>Asia.
