Adam, Heribert
|
Professor Emeritus |
Heribert Adam's comparative work on ethnonationalism stands in the hermeneutic tradition of critical theory. It aims both at understanding inter-group antagonisms and fostering a universal human rights culture that minimizes bigotry and communal strife. Mainly drawing upon Nazi Germany and Apartheid South Africaówhere he has been involved in facilitating the negotiated revolutionóhis nuanced analysis of anti-semitism, colonial racism, and Canadian treatment of minorities goes beyond the conventional preaching of tolerance. Nelson Mandela in prison praised his work. Recently, Adam has critically examined the politics of memory, especially how emerging democracies deal with the crimes of previous regimes. Besides interest in critical theory, Dr. Adam specializes in political sociology, particularly the politics of Southern Africa, Canadian race relations, the revival of nationalism and ethnic conflicts worldwide. He was President of the International Sociological Association's Research Committee on Ethnic, Minority and Race Relations. Recent research has been focused on: history and revival of nationalism, comparative ethnic conflicts, race relations, multiculturalism, immigration policies. |
