Summary: This book deals with two crucial questions that policy-makers have long debated. First, should a government adopt policies that are targeted at specific communities or those that are universal in nature when dealing with serious social inequalities that could lead to conflict between ethnic groups? Second, would a race-based orientation to policy planning inevitably lead to the essentializing of the identities of ethnic groups, fostering in the long run the idea of insurmountable or unalterable differences between these commuities that could lead to conflict?
