Understanding Modern Nigeria : Ethnicity, Democracy, and Development
Since its independence from Britain in 1960, Nigeria has emerged as Africa's second largest economy and one of the biggest producers of oil in the world.Despite its economic success, however, there are deep divisions among its two hundred and fifty ethnic groups.Centered around three of the dominant themes of Nigeria's post-colonial narrative - ethnicity, democracy and governance, this is an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the history and events that have shaped these three areas.World-renowned expert in Nigerian history, Toyin Falola shows us how the British laid the foundations of modern Nigeria, with colonialism breading competition for resources and power and the widening cleavages between the Hausa-Fulani, Yoruba, and Igbo ethnic groups that had been forced together under British rule, the choice of federalism as a political system, and the religious and political pluralism that have shaped its institutions and practices.Using an examination of the outcomes of this history, manifested in hunger, violence, poverty, human rights violations, threats of secession and corruption, where power and resources are used to reproduce underdevelopment, Falola offers insights and recommendations for the future of policy and the potential for intervention in the country.

Ethnicity without Groups
Despite a quarter-century of constructivist theorizing in the social sciences and humanities, ethnic groups continue to be conceived as entities and cast as actors.Journalists, policymakers, and researchers routinely frame accounts of ethnic, racial, and national conflict as the struggles of internally homogeneous, externally bounded ethnic groups, races, and nations.In doing so, they unwittingly adopt the language of participants in such struggles, and contribute to the reification of ethnic groups. In this timely and provocative volume, Rogers Brubaker—well known for his work on immigration, citizenship, and nationalism—challenges this pervasive and commonsense “groupism.” But he does not simply revert to standard constructivist tropes about the fluidity and multiplicity of identity.Once a bracing challenge to conventional wisdom, constructivism has grown complacent, even cliched.That ethnicity is constructed is commonplace; this volume provides new insights into how it is constructed.By shifting the analytical focus from identity to identifications, from groups as entities to group-making projects, from shared culture to categorization, from substance to process, Brubaker shows that ethnicity, race, and nation are not things in the world but perspectives on the world: ways of seeing, interpreting, and representing the social world.

Is German an ethnicity?
German is not considered an ethnicity, but rather a nationality or a cultural identity. Ethnicity refers to a shared cultural heritage, language, and ancestry, while being German typically refers to being a citizen of Germany or having cultural ties to the country. There are various ethnic groups within Germany, such as Bavarians, Saxons, and Swabians, but being German itself is not an ethnicity.

Is Judaism an ethnicity?
Judaism is not an ethnicity, but rather a religion. While there are cultural and ethnic aspects to being Jewish, such as shared traditions, history, and language, Judaism itself is a religious identity. People of various ethnic backgrounds can convert to Judaism and become part of the Jewish community, demonstrating that it is not solely tied to a specific ethnicity. Additionally, there are Jews from diverse ethnic backgrounds, including Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Mizrahi, and others, further illustrating that Judaism is not limited to one ethnicity.

Ethnicity and Development : Addressing the Gaps in New Institutional Economics
Ethnicity and Development explores the impact of ethnic fragmentation on the success or failure of nations and uses case studies of Bangladesh and Pakistan to illustrate this.It analyzes the role of institutions in engendering economic and social progress and challenges the New Institutional Economics (NIE) narrative. The book argues that the NIE narrative has some gaps, particularly that it is blind to ethnic fragmentation and therefore does not account for the construction of institutions that can build national cohesion in low- and low-middleincome countries (L/LMICs).It shows that L/LMICs have a different cultural context and that they need to first build national cohesion on a foundation of horizontal – across ethnic groups – and vertical – across classes – equity.The author’s analysis also examines other novel issues, such as the boost that is provided by nations acquiring the right of self-determination.Other novelties are the distinction between prime causes (triggers) for economic development and approaches for economic development.More important for this book is the distinction between natural and constructed nations and the conceptual framework presented to analyze their performance.Finally, the study examines the creation of national cohesion in ethnically diverse nations. Addressing a gap in the literature, this book will be of interest to researchers in development economics, political science and sociology and specialists in comparative politics/political theory with a focus on Area Studies.

Social Work and Ethnicity
Originally published in 1982 Social Work and Ethnicity was the first purpose-written text for social work students, administrators and practitioners designed to prepare them conceptually and practically for work in Britain’s established ethnic minority communities.Much more than the vicissitudes of immigration now had to be considered: this book discusses social work’s response to chronic racial discrimination and disadvantage and the hazards and advantages of taking ethnicity into account in service delivery.Emphasised throughout is the role of the social services in promoting good race relations and a better deal for black people. Social Work and Ethnicity is based on research carried out by Mrs Cheetham and sponsored by the DHSS to identify the major concerns of social workers with ethnic minority clients and to study the development of relevant services in Britain and the USA.The contributing authors are mainly practitioners and come from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds; in fact, this is the first book on social work to be published in Britain to which a substantial contribution has been made by black writers.The specially commissioned contributions discuss the fundamental questions of principle in giving special consideration to ethnicity and underline the implications for practice.In particular, the lessons which Britain can learn from American experience are reviewed.The book opens with a discussion of political and ethical questions; the problems of assessing need and monitoring services are then examined.This is followed by several chapters on the special needs of various ethnic minority client groups, particularly children and young people, who now deserve priority attention.The tricky issue of ethnic matching is discussed, so too are the different methods of developing services which are appropriate to ethnic minority needs and aspirations.Recruitment, training and education for work in a multi-racial society are subjects for several chapters and the book concludes with the experiences of two ethnic minority social workers.This book is a re-issue originally published in 1982.The language used and assumptions made are a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.

Ethnicity and Nationalism : Anthropological Perspectives
Is ethnicity a result of cultural differences? Is ethnicity dependent on the practical use and belief in cultural differences?Drawing on a wide-range of classic and recent studies in anthropology and sociology, Thomas Hylland Eriksen examines the relationship between ethnicity, class, gender and nationhood.Using the question 'What is ethnicity?' as his starting point, Eriksen examines the interplay between ideology and ethnicity, how the Internet impacts understanding of ethnicity, identity politics, and the commercialisation of identity.Through this, he reveals that far from being an immutable property of groups, ethnicity is a dynamic and shifting aspect of social relationships.A core text for all students of social anthropology and related subjects, Ethnicity and Nationalism has been a leading introduction to the field since its original publication in 1993.This new edition - expanded and thoroughly revised - is indispensable to anyone seriously interested in understanding ethnic phenomena.

Should everyone marry within their own ethnicity or at least a similar ethnicity?
It is not necessary for everyone to marry within their own ethnicity or a similar ethnicity. Love and compatibility are more important factors in a successful marriage than ethnicity. Inter-ethnic marriages can bring about cultural exchange and understanding, enriching the relationship. It is essential to focus on mutual respect, understanding, and communication in a marriage, regardless of ethnic backgrounds.

What is the difference between web development and software development?
Web development primarily focuses on creating websites and web applications that are accessed through a web browser, using technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Software development, on the other hand, involves creating applications that can run on various platforms, including desktop computers, mobile devices, and servers.
