Ethnicity and Racism in Cyprus: National Pride and Prejudice? (Mapping Global Racisms)

"Investigating the relationship between ethnic pride and prejudice in the divided community of Cyprus, this book focuses on the ethnic stereotypes that Greek and Turkish Cypriot secondary school students develop of each other and other ethnic groups in Cyprus"-- Provided by publisher Through in-depth qualitative and quantitative data analysis, Ethnicity and Racism in Cyprus investigates the relationship between ethnic pride and prejudice in the divided community of Cyprus. In particular, Stevens focuses on schools in Cyprus, looking at the ethnic stereotypes that Greek and Turkish Cypriot students develop of each other and other ethnic groups, and the underlying social psychological and sociological factors that inform the development of these stereotypes. The book's findings show that the way in which Greek and Turkish Cypriots perceive themselves in ethnic terms influences their prejudice to various meaningful ethnic out-groups. In addition, Stevens sheds light on the importance of school policies and structural school features in developing ethnic stereotypes. The analysis also highlights the importance of young people's families and peer groups, and their participation in sports activities in developing prejudice to ethnic out-groups Cover 1 Contents 8 List of Figures and Tables 9 Foreword 10 Acknowledgements 15 1 Introduction 16 2 Studying the Relationship between National Pride and Prejudice in Context 20 3 Methods 41 4 Greek and Turkish Cypriot In- and Out-Group Perceptions 47 5 Cultural Repertoires within Context: Institutions, Resources and Social Networks 94 6 Testing the Relationship between Ethnic Pride and Prejudice in the Context of Cyprus 125 7 Conclusions and Discussion: National Pride and Prejudice? 141 Appendices 151 Notes 167 Bibliography 168 Index 173 Front Matter....Pages i-xiv Introduction....Pages 1-4 Studying the Relationship between National Pride and Prejudice in Context....Pages 5-25 Methods....Pages 26-31 Greek and Turkish Cypriot In- and Out-Group Perceptions....Pages 32-78 Cultural Repertoires within Context: Institutions, Resources and Social Networks....Pages 79-109 Testing the Relationship between Ethnic Pride and Prejudice in the Context of Cyprus....Pages 110-125 Conclusions and Discussion: National Pride and Prejudice?....Pages 126-135 Back Matter....Pages 136-161
