The first transnational and interlingual conceptual history of ethnicity, Ethnos of the Earth (Cambridge University Press, 2024) reveals the pivotal role this concept played in the making of the international order. Rather than being a primordial or natural phenomenon, Heiskanen argues, ethnicity is a contingent product of the twentieth-century transition from a world of empires to a world of nation-states.
Join us for a book talk with comments from Dr Musab Younis, Associate Professor of Political Theory (Oxford) and Dr Faridah Zaman, Associate Professor of History (Oxford).
