Tamara Dragadze, Some changes in perspectives on ethnicity theory in the I980's. A brief sketch.
To a certain extent. Western trends have often been marked by a greater recognition of essentialist, reflexive or cultural traits in die social coastruction of ethnic identity and the class-conflict based models arc on the wain. There are several reasons for this, one of them being the impact of the voice of members of ethnic minorities in Britain themselves.
In the Soviet Union in the past, a Marxist framework was adapted to an essentialist, cultural model in order to escape the confines of simple class analysis and also to present a sanitized version of Soviet ethnic relations. The new glasnosť and the force of events themselves are permitting a review of some of the tenets of ethnicity theory. The materials are still being written and the diversity between Moscow and the republics has yet to be documented. This paper nevertheless attempts to elicit some thoughts on the direction some Soviet authors might be moving towards. The paper ends with a few comments on how I am trying to combine in my own work a selection of approaches from the vast variety of trends in both Western and Soviet anthropology.
