Barth's view is that ethnic groups are not discontinuous cultural isolates or logical <i>a priori</i> to which people naturally belong. He wanted to part with anthropological notions of cultures as bounded entities, and ethnicity as primordialist bonds, replacing it with a focus on the interface between groups. "Ethnic Groups and Boundaries", therefore, is a focus on the interconnectedness of ethnic identities.

As <a href="/wiki/Jonathan_M._Hall" title="Jonathan M. Hall">Jonathan M. Hall</a> observes, World War II was a turning point in ethnic studies. The consequences of Nazi racism discouraged essentialist interpretations of ethnic groups and race. Ethnic groups came to be defined as social rather than biological entities. Their coherence was attributed to shared myths, descent, <a href="/wiki/Kinship" title="Kinship">kinship</a>, a common place of origin, language, religion, customs, and national character. So, ethnic groups are conceived as mutable rather than stable, constructed in discursive practices rather than written in the genes.<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Examples of various approaches are primordialism, essentialism, perennialism, constructivism, modernism, and instrumentalism. </p> <ul><li>"<i>Primordialism</i>", holds that ethnicity has existed at all times of human history and that modern ethnic groups have historical continuity into the far past. For them, the idea of ethnicity is closely linked to the idea of nations and is rooted in the pre-Weber understanding of humanity as being divided into primordially existing groups rooted by kinship and biological heritage. <ul><li>"<i>Essentialist primordialism</i>" further holds that ethnicity is an <i>a priori</i> fact of human existence, that ethnicity precedes any human social interaction and that it is unchanged by it. This theory sees ethnic groups as natural, not just as historical.

In this way, the myths of common biological ancestry that are a defining feature of ethnic communities are to be understood as representing actual biological history. A problem with this view on ethnicity is that it is more often than not the case that mythic origins of specific ethnic groups directly contradict the known biological history of an ethnic community.<sup id="cite_ref-smith13_42-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-smith13-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>"<i>Geertz's primordialism</i>", notably espoused by anthropologist <a href="/wiki/Clifford_Geertz" title="Clifford Geertz">Clifford Geertz</a>, argues that humans in general attribute an overwhelming power to primordial human "givens" such as blood ties, language, territory, and cultural differences.

Accordingly, ethnicity emerges when it is relevant as a means of furthering emergent collective interests and changes according to political changes in society. Examples of a perennialist interpretation of ethnicity are also found in Barth and Seidner who see ethnicity as ever-changing boundaries between groups of people established through ongoing social negotiation and interaction.</li> <li>"<i>Instrumentalist perennialism</i>", while seeing ethnicity primarily as a versatile tool that identified different ethnics groups and limits through time, explains ethnicity as a mechanism of <a href="/wiki/Social_stratification" title="Social stratification">social stratification</a>, meaning that ethnicity is the basis for a hierarchical arrangement of individuals. According to Donald Noel, a sociologist who developed a theory on the origin of ethnic stratification, ethnic stratification is a "system of stratification wherein some relatively fixed group membership (e.g., race, religion, or nationality) is used as a major criterion for assigning social positions".<sup id="cite_ref-Noel1968_45-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Noel1968-45"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>45<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ethnic stratification is one of many different types of social stratification, including stratification based on <a href="/wiki/Socio-economic_status" class="mw-redirect" title="Socio-economic status">socio-economic status</a>, race, or <a href="/wiki/Gender" title="Gender">gender</a>. According to Donald Noel, ethnic stratification will emerge only when specific ethnic groups are brought into contact with one another, and only when those groups are characterized by a high degree of <a href="/wiki/Ethnocentrism" title="Ethnocentrism">ethnocentrism</a>, competition, and differential power. Ethnocentrism is the tendency to look at the world primarily from the perspective of one's own culture, and to downgrade all other groups outside one's own culture. Some sociologists, such as Lawrence Bobo and Vincent Hutchings, say the origin of ethnic stratification lies in individual dispositions of ethnic prejudice, which relates to the theory of ethnocentrism.<sup id="cite_ref-Bobo1996_46-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bobo1996-46"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>46<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Continuing with Noel's theory, some degree of differential power must be present for the emergence of ethnic stratification.

They culminated in the rise of "nation-states" in which the presumptive boundaries of the nation coincided (or ideally coincided) with state boundaries. Thus, in the West, the notion of ethnicity, like race and <a href="/wiki/Nation" title="Nation">nation</a>, developed in the context of European colonial expansion, when <a href="/wiki/Mercantilism" title="Mercantilism">mercantilism</a> and <a href="/wiki/Capitalism" title="Capitalism">capitalism</a> were promoting global movements of populations at the same time that <a href="/wiki/Sovereign_state" title="Sovereign state">state</a> boundaries were being more clearly and rigidly defined. </p><p>In the 19th century, modern states generally sought legitimacy through their claim to represent "nations". <a href="/wiki/Nation-state" class="mw-redirect" title="Nation-state">Nation-states</a>, however, invariably include populations who have been excluded from national life for one reason or another.

In the 20th century, people began to argue that conflicts among ethnic groups or between members of an ethnic group and the state can and should be resolved in one of two ways. Some, like <a href="/wiki/J%C3%BCrgen_Habermas" title="Jürgen Habermas">Jürgen Habermas</a> and Bruce Barry, have argued that the legitimacy of modern states must be based on a notion of political rights of autonomous individual subjects. According to this view, the state should not acknowledge ethnic, national or racial identity but rather instead enforce political and legal equality of all individuals. Others, like <a href="/wiki/Charles_Taylor_(philosopher)" title="Charles Taylor (philosopher)">Charles Taylor</a> and <a href="/wiki/Will_Kymlicka" title="Will Kymlicka">Will Kymlicka</a>, argue that the notion of the autonomous individual is itself a cultural construct. According to this view, states must recognize ethnic identity and develop processes through which the particular needs of ethnic groups can be accommodated within the boundaries of the nation-state. </p><p>The 19th century saw the development of the political ideology of <a href="/wiki/Ethnic_nationalism" title="Ethnic nationalism">ethnic nationalism</a>, when the concept of race was tied to <a href="/wiki/Nationalism" title="Nationalism">nationalism</a>, first by German theorists including <a href="/wiki/Johann_Gottfried_von_Herder" class="mw-redirect" title="Johann Gottfried von Herder">Johann Gottfried von Herder</a>. Instances of societies focusing on ethnic ties, arguably to the exclusion of history or historical context, have resulted in the justification of nationalist goals. Two periods frequently cited as examples of this are the 19th-century consolidation and expansion of the <a href="/wiki/German_Empire" title="German Empire">German Empire</a> and the 20th century <a href="/wiki/Nazi_Germany" title="Nazi Germany">Nazi Germany</a>. Each promoted the pan-ethnic idea that these governments were acquiring only lands that had always been inhabited by ethnic Germans. The history of late-comers to the nation-state model, such as those arising in the Near East and south-eastern Europe out of the dissolution of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires, as well as those arising out of the USSR, is marked by <a href="/wiki/Ethnic_war" class="mw-redirect" title="Ethnic war">inter-ethnic conflicts</a>. Such conflicts usually occur within multi-ethnic states, as opposed to between them, as in other regions of the world. Thus, the conflicts are often misleadingly labeled and characterized as <a href="/wiki/Civil_war" title="Civil war">civil wars</a> when they are inter-ethnic conflicts in a multi-ethnic state. </p>

Wadsworth Cengage learning. p. 389. <q>In essence, an ethnic group is a named social category of people based on perceptions of shared social experience or one's <a href="/wiki/Ancestor" title="Ancestor">ancestors</a>' experiences. Members of the ethnic group see themselves as sharing cultural traditions and history that distinguish them from other groups. Ethnic group identity has a strong psychological or emotional component that divides the people of the world into opposing categories of 'us' and 'them'. In contrast to social stratification, which divides and unifies people along a series of horizontal axes based on socioeconomic factors, ethnic identities divide and unify people along a series of vertical axes.

Australia did not cede control of the Torres Strait Islands, inhabited by a Melanesian population, or Lord Howe and Norfolk Island, whose residents are of European ancestry. New Zealand retains indirect rule over Niue and Tokelau and has kept close relations with another former possession, the Cook Islands, through a compact of free association. Chile rules Easter Island (Rapa Nui) and Ecuador rules the Galapagos Islands. The Aboriginals of Australia, the Maoris of New Zealand and the native Polynesians of Hawaii, despite movements demanding more cultural recognition, greater economic and political considerations or even outright sovereignty, have remained minorities in countries where massive waves of migration have completely changed society. In short, Oceania has remained one of the least completely decolonized regions on the globe.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=France+and+the+South+Pacific+Since+1940&rft.pages=347&rft.pub=University+of+Hawaii+Press&rft.date=1993&rft.isbn=978-0824815585&rft.aulast=Aldrich&rft.aufirst=Robert&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DtLTDYaHhrZgC%26dq%3D%2522with%2Bthe%2Bending%2Bof%2Bthe%2Btrust%2Bterritory%2522%26pg%3DPA347&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AEthnicity" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-autogenerated2-93"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-autogenerated2_93-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20181225164238/http://www.isee.nc/tec/popsociete/telechargements/4-population.pdf%20">"ISEE – Salaires"</a>. <i>Isee.nc</i>.

The Eastern Pacific does not have the multitude of islands so characteristic of the Western regions of this great ocean, but there are some: Easter Island, 2000 miles off the Chilean coast, where a Polynesian tongue, Rapanui, is still spoken; the Juan Fernandez group, 400 miles west of Valparaiso; the Galapagos archipelago, 650 miles west of Ecuador; Malpelo and Cocos, 300 miles off the Colombian and Costa Rican coasts respectively; and others. Not many of these islands have extensive populations – some have been used effectively as prisons – but the official language on each is Spanish.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Current+Trends+in+Linguistics%3A+Linguistics+in+Oceania&rft.pages=950&rft.pub=the+University+of+Michigan&rft.date=1971&rft.aulast=Sebeok&rft.aufirst=Thomas+Albert&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DlYouAAAAMAAJ%26q%3D%2522multitude%2522%2Boceania%2B%2522linguistics%2522&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AEthnicity" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-realm-101"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-realm_101-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-realm_101-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-realm_101-2"><sup><i><b>c</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFTodd1974" class="citation book cs1">Todd, Ian (1974). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=gcEJAQAAIAAJ&q=%22French+language+cultures%22+1974+pacific"><i>Island Realm: A Pacific Panorama</i></a>.

Thus we have the French language part of Oceania, the Spanish part and the Japanese part. The Japanese culture groups of Oceania are the Bonin Islands, the Marcus Islands and the Volcano Islands. These three clusters, lying south and south-east of Japan, are inhabited either by Japanese or by people who have now completely fused with the Japanese race. Therefore they will not be taken into account in the proposed comparison of the policies of non-Oceanic cultures towards Oceanic peoples. On the eastern side of the Pacific are a number of Spanish language culture groups of islands. Two of them, the Galapagos and Easter Island, have been dealt with as separate chapters in this volume. Only one of the dozen or so Spanish culture island groups of Oceania has an Oceanic population – the Polynesians of Easter Island. The rest are either uninhabited or have a Spanish – Latin – American population consisting of people who migrated from the mainland. Therefore, the comparisons which follow refer almost exclusively to the English and French language cultures.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Island+Realm%3A+A+Pacific+Panorama&rft.pages=190&rft.pub=Angus+%26+Robertson&rft.date=1974&rft.isbn=978-0207127618&rft.aulast=Todd&rft.aufirst=Ian&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DgcEJAQAAIAAJ%26q%3D%2522French%2Blanguage%2Bcultures%2522%2B1974%2Bpacific&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AEthnicity" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-102"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-102">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.immigration.gov.pn/history/index.html">"History of Pitcairn Island | Pitcairn Island Immigration"</a>. <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220422004641/http://www.immigration.gov.pn/history/index.html">Archived</a> from the original on 2022-04-22<span class="reference-accessdate">.
