This article intends to describe a necessity for the presence of peace amidst the diversity of society. This diversity is now an inevitable, especially the depletion of cultural boundaries, and ethnic identity which fuses in the context of globalization. One of the potentials in this diversity is the emergence of conflicts of interest and conflicts in the name of primordial identity. The offer of a multicultural approach will recognize the potential and legitimacy of diversity and socio-cultural differences of each ethnic group. In this view both individuals and groups of various ethnicities can join the community, engage in societal cohesion without having to lose their ethnic and cultural identity, while at the same time still obtaining their rights to participate fully in various fields of community activities.

This article discusses the normative and legal foundations, laws, principles, approaches, means and methods of organizing the educational process and analyzing the content of the authors’ ethnopedagogical program—Olonkho pedagogy. The article relies on the aspiration of ethnic groups to preserve their own distinctiveness and maintain their ethnic and cultural identity despite the current circumstances of globalization. By basing its approach on the Sakha heroic epic tradition—the Olonkho—the article describes how this tradition can introduce children to ethnocultural traditions, customs, and ceremonial rituals. The article examines manifestations of civic and ethnic identity among students, as well as their values and attitudes toward their native language and the cultural and historical heritage of their ethnic group.

The purpose of this article is to examine the work of the Spirit in the book of Acts in relation to pentecostal experience and cultural identity among Māori in New Zealand. It discusses the many tongues of Pentecost as symbolic of the Spirit’s affirmation of ethno-linguistic diversity and explores the story of Gentile inclusion in Acts 10, where this inclusion must be worked out in the face of ethnic division. This discussion is brought to bear on the context of Māori and pentecostal church communities in New Zealand. Given the ongoing disruption of ethnic and cultural identity for Māori, this article draws on a series of interviews with Māori pentecostal church leaders, demonstrating connections between experiences of the Spirit and divine affirmation of cultural identity. Finally, these observations are discussed in relation to the work of the Spirit and the issue of ethnic identity in both Acts 2 and Acts 10.

At the time of the violent interethnic conflict in the former Yugoslavia, ethnic Germans in Serbia became publicly active for the first time after decades of "ethnic mimicry", founding ethnic German societies. It is through these societies that the process of revitalization and (re)construction of their ethnic and cultural identity has been taking place. There are about a dozen such societies active in Vojvodina today, one of them being the Adam Berenz German Society in the town of Apatin. The paper looks at the conceptualization and symbolization, analysis of ethnic strategies and presentation of modalities by means of which the Apatin association seeks to preserve and revive certain specific ethnic and cultural elements of the German ethnic community.

In this paper, painting is observed as a source for studying the ethnic and cultural identity of Slovaks in Serbia, with the retrospective view to the painters from Kovacica. During the second half of the 20th century there were 60 Slovakian artists in Serbia who dealt with the Naive Art, and 46 of them were from Kovacica. Today, in this majority Slovakian village in Serbia there are 30 people of both sexes who deal with the Naive Art. What do the members of the Slovak ethnic group tell us about their community through their art? Many motives from folk life can be observed in the paintings of Slovakian naive artists. However, the village is not often shown as it is today, but as it was remembered or depicted by the predecessors. On the other hand, multiple social and political changes during the second half of the 20th century, which have continued until today, influenced and changed village life, and also the subject matter of the Art.

The article considers the relevant and urgent issue of formation and development of ethnic identity of agricultural students as a framework for the development of intercultural competency. It is an essential and key competence in a modern world. Ethnic identity developing in childhood and youth maintains its stability lifelong and it is a key factor determining one’s emotional state. During the intercultural communication the manifestations of “our” and “other” ethnocentrism may result in aggression, frustration and depression. Ethnic and cultural identity management as a significant component of developed intercultural competency gives the opportunity to avoid undesirable negative consequences. Ethnic identity can be developed in the process of intercultural foreign languages teaching in higher education on the basis of methodological principles of the personal and activity approach, contextual education, the competency-based approach. The formation of positive ethnic and cultural identity starts with the perception of specific and particular features of native culture which is problematic as people become accustomed to accept values, customs and traditions of their own culture as something firm and permanent, as a matter of course. In this regard, the syllabus should contain ethnic and cultural knowledge and skills, the skill to see a situation from different perspectives on the base of understanding the relativity of ethnic and cultural events, the skill to govern one’s own emotional state. In this case the self-analysis, empathy and reflection become the psychological mechanism of stereotypes transformation, the realization of habitual ethnic and cultural preconceptions, and the acceptance of cultural diversity as a standard.

The “will of the (national) people” is the ubiquitously invoked reference unit of populist politics. The essay tries to demystify the notion that such will can be conceived of as a unique and unified substance deriving from collective ethnic identity. Arguably, all political theory is concerned with arguing for ways by which citizens can make e pluribus unum—for example, by coming to agree on procedures and institutions by which conflicts of interest and ideas can be settled according to standards of fairness. It is argued that populists in their political rhetoric and practice typically try to circumvent the burden of such argument and proof. Instead, they appeal to the notion of some preexisting existential unity of the people’s will, which they can redeem only through practices of repression and exclusion.

AbstractLongitudinal studies into the relationship between affect (positive or negative feelings) towards one’s own ethnic group and wellbeing are rare, particularly for Indigenous peoples. In this paper, we test the longitudinal effects of in-group warmth (a measure of ethnic identity affect) and ethnic identity centrality on three wellbeing measures for New Zealand Māori: life satisfaction (LS), self-esteem (SE), and personal wellbeing (PW). Longitudinal panel data collected from Māori (N = 3803) aged 18 or over throughout seven annual assessments (2009–2015) in the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study were analyzed using latent trajectory models with structured residuals to examine cross-lagged within-person effects. Higher in-group warmth towards Māori predicted increases in all three wellbeing measures, even more strongly than ethnic identity centrality. Bi-directionally, PW and SE predicted increased in-group warmth, and SE predicted ethnic identification. Further, in sample-level (between-person) trends, LS and PW rose, but ethnic identity centrality interestingly declined over time. This is the first large-scale longitudinal study showing a strong relationship between positive affect towards one’s Indigenous ethnic group and wellbeing. Efforts at cultural recovery and restoration have been a deliberate protective response to colonization, but among Māori, enculturation and access to traditional cultural knowledge varies widely. The data reported here underline the role of ethnic identity affect as an important dimension of wellbeing and call for continued research into the role of this dimension of ethnic identity for Indigenous peoples.

Mundurukú, a Tupian language of Brazil, exhibits two opposite scenarios. On one extreme, there is Mundurukú do Pará, the language of daily communication in the Mundurukú Indigenous Land, with fluent speakers found across all generations and still acquired by children as a mother tongue. On the other extreme, there is Mundurukú do Amazonas, formerly spoken in the Kwatá-Laranjal Indigenous Land, but whose inhabitants have shifted to Portuguese. A group of Mundurukú students from Amazonas decided to initiate a process of language revitalisation as a way to strengthen the community's ethnic and cultural identity. This paper reports the initial stages of language planning, and includes future actions to promote language use in the homes and communities, assessement of language proficiency, and definition of educational programs to teach Mundurukú in local schools.
