Talk:Meta-ethnicity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is kind of experimental, but I think worth having an article on. I've seen this term well before now. Check "What links here" (for the article not the Talk) and you'll notice its use in one article on central Asian music (I enlivened a link to the term already in the text).--A12n 21:03, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
I've added a couple of items. This is still a stub article and needs more attention. As it expands it gets into some tricky territory: how to describe the political uses of the term. This also gets beyond my expertise and interest. I first encountered the term in a compilation of articles about ethnicity in Africa published in the former Soviet Union in the 1984, which I have added to the references, and found it an interesting additional frame in which to discuss identity and ethnicity in West Africa.
What's needed:
- More info on earliest uses of the term
- Discussion on different popular and academic uses (and misuses?) today
- Comparisons to other related terms like ethnicity and nation(ality) --A12n 17:21, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of external link -> question re guidelines
Just noticed this link was removed with mention of "guidelines":
...What might those guidelines be? This link was actually intended as a reference concerning the mention of racialist groups using the term (the content on this page referred to said usage). --A12n 23:59, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
