This book uses the term ‘ethnicity’ broadly to refer to the ‘subjective, symbolic, or emblematic use by a group of people of any aspect of culture in order to create internal cohesion and differentiate themselves from other groups’ (Brass 1991: 19). This understanding of ethnicity recognizes that the internal and external functions of group identity are cohesion and differentiation. Central to this sense of identity is a shared belief in common descent, birth or kinship which may be (but usually is not) based on biological fact.
