Abstract

The constructivist approach to political culture the book draws upon is situated within the context of the literature. The approach highlights the interactive dynamic relationship between the political culture of the community and civic organizations. The role of ethnic politics and identity in the context of exile is presented in a discussion of the history of the community.
