Re: Biological Reductionism/Ideology

A few useful sources on the topic of ethnic conflict, nationalism and
genocide:

Containing Nationalism (Hechter),
The Logic of Evil (Brustein), 
        and
Why Did the Heavens Not Darken? (Mayer).

These works all share what I think could be characterized broadly as a
neo-Weberian analysis, a materialist analysis of group conflict.  Mayer
and Brustein specifically analyze Nazi Germany, while Hechter proposes a
general theory of nationalism and the conditions for extreme conflict.
