Contemporary Issues in Asia and the Pacific Ser.: Making Majorities : Constituting the Nation in Japan, Korea, China, Malaysia, Fiji, Turkey, and the United States by Dru C. Gladney (1998, Trade Paperback)

Majorities are made, not born. This book argues that there are no pure majorities in the Asia-Pacific region, broadly defined, nor in the West, and challenges the thesis that civilizations are composed of more or less homogeneous cultures. The 14 contributors argue that emphasis on minority/majority rights is based on uncritically accepted views of purity, numerical superiority, and social consensus.
