No question about that. There is also the indelicate matter of what happens
when those inside and those outside the group disagree. Not a big deal,
perhaps, if the disagreement is only a matter of costume or cuisine. If
there is, as C. Wright Mills put it, an irreconcilable difference between
their vocabularies of motive, the only way to resolve a dispute will be
force. Thus, the subject matter of all sorts of post-colonial and subaltern
studies and the the bone in the throat of multiculturalism.

Glad to hear this. Have just ordered a copy of *Phenomenology of the Social

advice as I struggle through it.
