Description: "Graham C. Kinloch, with his comparative experience in Southern Africa, New Zealand, Hawaii, the America Midwest and South, combined with insight provided by analyses of minority group relations in a variety of societies, in this work outlines some of the major historical, demographic, economic, and sociocultural factors behind intergroup relations, both worldwide and within the United States.

This book focuses on the central elements behind different kinds of intergroup relations worldwide, attempting to develop a general approach to such matters and draw specific policy implications regarding needed social change to alleviate some of the problems many of these societies experience."--BOOK JACKET.
