It argues that even within the same regional social system, ethnic identity is formulated, perceived, and promoted differently by different communities at different times.

This detailed study maps variations in family systems throughout the world, focusing on the ways families cooperate and interact with their societies. Harrell describes families in nomadic bands, traditional African societies, Polynesian and Micronesian societies, native societies of the Pacific Northwest coast, preindustrial class societies, and modern industrial societies. His extensive case studies are clearly illustrated with unique diagrams that allow comparison of complex groups and family processes extending over a generation.

How do we sort the objects, people, events, and ideas in the world into their proper categories so that we may experience and interact with them?

Serbias have come and gone, and they have moved from place to place. This book looks at the historical forces, actors, ideas, and period which have molded the entities that go by the name "Serbia." In Serbia: The History of an Idea we learn about the medieval rulers and the church, the imperial rule of Ottomans and Hapsburgs, the two World Wars, the Yugoslav kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, and, of course, modern Yugoslavia. At the time of Serbia’s emergence from the ruins of Tito’s Yugoslavia and of Milosevic’s regime, Stevan Pavlowitch shuns the "doomed to violenc
