The Near East is the home of a type of race and culture contacts which has thus far escaped the attention of sociologists. The society of the East is stratified in terms of belief and disbelief rather than in terms of race or of class. The family rather than the territory is the nucleus of organization, and hence religion and nationality are inextricably interwined. It is proposed that the term "millet," taken from Turkish law, be used to describe this type of intergroup relations. This would provide a conceptual tool to observe the conflict between personal and territorial nationalism and thus could contribute toward a better understanding of minority problems in many parts of the world
