For Baumann, polyethnic ceremonies are significant moments over which there are competing interpretative claims. |
The intergenerational reproduction of minority ethnic identities has produced a national culture that is multicultural, polyethnic, and cosmopolitan. |
They could easily have come not from Stravinsky but from Xenakis's own experience as a child in the polyethnic Danube delta, and as a boy reading the Greek classics and wanting to reach back to a time when art shook. |
The state defines and guarantees universal, basic rights, but polyethnic and representation rights are established in localities. |
In the long term, a more broadly representative system would probably be better for a polyethnic country like Afghanistan. |
And thus it is a very good bet that those societies that are becoming more and more polyethnic will experience increasing ethnic conflict. In fact, it is happening already. |
