One of the interesting features of the articles of that year is many articles are looking for political significance and meanings. In other words, even though some articles deal with gender, discourse analysis or rituals, they look for political meanings. Another interesting feature is the increase of interests in ethnicity. Most of the six articles about the U.S. deal with ethnic identities and Mexican immigrants. These are reflected by the social situation of the year.
Marginal journals are especially interested in local and ethnic identities.
Ethnos published in Sweden mainly deal with Swedish and Finnish identities and individualism v. collectivity.
