Includes bibliographical references and index.
'Becoming Minority' traces the processes through which minorities perform as minorities, their discursive formation, narrativization and representation. The book moves away from an uncritical understanding of the term minority as a container of some unchanging core ideals, and leads to a framework where minority comes into existence in the very act of representation.
