Polyetnisitet

Polyetnisitet er folk fra forskjellig etnisk bakgrunn innenfor samme land eller spesifikt innenfor en region. Begrepet refererer også til individers vilje til å identifisere seg selv med flere etniske grupper. Polyetnisitet inntreffer når flere etniske grupper bebor et gitt område, spesifikt gjennom immigrasjon, giftemål mellom raser, handel, millitære erobringer og landinndelinger etter en krig. Dette har hatt mange politiske og sosiale implikasjoner for land og regioner.
