Ethnic Groups and Boundaries: The Social Organization of Culture Difference
Ethnic Groups and Boundaries: The Social Organization of Culture Difference is a seminal anthropological work edited by Fredrik Barth that challenges essentialist views of ethnicity by arguing that ethnic groups are defined not by fixed cultural traits but by the social boundaries that are maintained through interaction; focusing on processes of inclusion and exclusion, the book demonstrates how ethnic identities persist despite cultural change because boundaries are actively negotiated, reproduced, and regulated in social relations, making it a foundational text for understanding ethnicity as a dynamic, relational, and socially constructed phenomenon rather than a static cultural inheritance.
