Meta-ethnicity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Large group of related ethnic groups who identify with each other

Meta-ethnicity is a level of commonality that is wider ("meta-") and more general (i.e., might differ on specifics) thanethnicity, but does not necessarily correspond to (and may actually transcend)nation ornationality. It is a relatively recent term (orneologism) occasionally used in academic literature or public discourse onethnic studies. In colloquial discourse, it usually signifies a largerin-group of distinctethnic groups who identify more closely with each other than they would without-group ethnic groups. The groups within the in-group may be genetically and culturally related which reinforces the grouping.

An early use—possibly the first published in English—was an article in a 1984USSR Academy of Sciences publication discussing identity inAsia andAfrica.^[1]

Gurharpal Singh, "Against this dominant view of the nature of the Indian state, Singh argues thatIndia should be seen as an 'ethnic democracy' in whichHinduism works as a meta-ethnicity and in whichhegemonic control is exercised over ethnicminorities, particularly those living in the peripheral regions" in Christopher Shackle, Gurharpal Singh and Arvind-Pal Mandair eds.,Sikh Religion, Culture and Ethnicity (Curson: 2001), p.155.
"L. Byzov, however, believes that 'there has taken place within theRussian national consciousness one of the most radical changes ever: from a meta-ethnic sense ofidentity to a strictly ethnic identity' (Byzov 1996, 45)."^[2]
"Geoffrey Fox, on the other hand, argues that 'Hispanic', with its emphasis onSpanish-language heritage as the foundation of meta-ethnicity, has no impliedracial orclass agendas and is simply preferred by mostimmigrants fromLatin America." ... "Furthermore, these split-level processes ofidentity formation—the forging of ethnicity and meta-ethnicity—take place in regional contexts of unequal ethnic control over media andsymbol systems."^[3]
Peter Turchin introduces the concept "metaethnic frontier theory" in his 2003 book,Historical Dynamics: Why States Rise and Fall^[4]
According to Hussain, Imtiaz, "At the beginning of the new century,Chinese people are living the construction of a metaethnicity of multiple identities."^[5]
