Example text
Martin Devlin’s examination of the concept of ‘ethnic business’ shows the ways in which professional programmes such as business studies tends to work from unexamined assumptions. Concepts of ethnicity, culture and entrepreneurship are taken as givens, something that also occurs in teacher education and nursing studies. As Devlin points out, working from unexamined and confused concepts can lead to strange and highly contestable claims, as is the case in the strange claim that ‘New Zealand Maori are the third most entrepreneurial people in the world’.
However, the location of ethnic politics within modern intellectual discourse is rarely conceded by culturalists. Yet the debate between universal humanity and ethnic primacy emerged in response to the liberal and universalist claims developed by Enlightenment philosophers. Cultural politics was oppositional from the late eighteenth century. In Adam Kuper’s words, ‘culture (was) always defined in opposition to something else’. It was, therefore, ‘an authentic, local way of being different that resists its enemy – globalizing, material civilization’ (2001, pp.
In the new understandings of identity politics, it was no longer the proletariat who experienced the oppression of capitalist exploitation. Instead victimhood, the result of oppression from colonisation, the patriarchy and ‘Western’ culture generally, was the preserve of ethnic groups, indigenous peoples, women, gays and religious minorities. Elizabeth Rata and Roger Openshaw 11 The liberal left championed direct participation by minority groups in the nation’s political life. New voices were to be heard and respected for the first time.
