The book explores the institutionalization of ethnicity as a political category, examining its impact on public policymaking through international case studies, including New Zealand. It argues that such practices create artificial divisions that may become entrenched and harmful, contrasting with the social fluidity characteristic of contemporary societies. The preface by Jonathan Friedman sets the stage for a critical analysis of how these divisions influence political and social dynamics.
