520 |a "I begin the first chapter of the present book with definitions, because the concepts related to ancestry are often confused in the public discourse. Sometimes this is done because people do not pay attention to what exactly these concepts are about, and so use them interchangeably. For instance, when the majority of a people in a nation are also considered to be members of the same ethnic group, nationality and ethnicity can be easily confused. Other times, different concepts are intentionally used to refer to the same category. For instance, "White" is a category that is described as race in the US Census and as ethnicity in the UK census. Therefore, I have decided to define these concepts right from the start, in order to clarify their differences and also show how their improper use may lead to misunderstandings"--  |c Provided by publisher
