Ethnicity without Groups
Despite a quarter-century of constructivist theorizing in the social sciences and humanities, ethnic groups continue to be conceived as entities and cast as actors.Journalists, policymakers, and researchers routinely frame accounts of ethnic, racial, and national conflict as the struggles of internally homogeneous, externally bounded ethnic groups, races, and nations.In doing so, they unwittingly adopt the language of participants in such struggles, and contribute to the reification of ethnic groups. In this timely and provocative volume, Rogers Brubaker—well known for his work on immigration, citizenship, and nationalism—challenges this pervasive and commonsense “groupism.” But he does not simply revert to standard constructivist tropes about the fluidity and multiplicity of identity.Once a bracing challenge to conventional wisdom, constructivism has grown complacent, even cliched.That ethnicity is constructed is commonplace; this volume provides new insights into how it is constructed.By shifting the analytical focus from identity to identifications, from groups as entities to group-making projects, from shared culture to categorization, from substance to process, Brubaker shows that ethnicity, race, and nation are not things in the world but perspectives on the world: ways of seeing, interpreting, and representing the social world.

Who pays for the mandatory installation of solar panels?
The mandatory installation of solar panels is typically paid for by the property owner or developer. In some cases, government incentives or rebates may be available to help offset the cost of installation. However, ultimately the responsibility for paying for the installation of solar panels falls on the individual or entity that owns the property where the panels are being installed.
-
What are solar panels?
Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. They are made up of photovoltaic cells that capture the sun's energy and convert it into usable electricity. Solar panels are typically installed on rooftops or in open areas where they can receive maximum sunlight exposure. They are a sustainable and renewable energy source that helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease carbon emissions.

What should I consider when it comes to Solar Energy? Solar panels, batteries, and inverters.
When considering solar energy, it is important to assess your energy needs and consumption to determine the size and number of solar panels required. Additionally, you should consider the type and capacity of batteries needed to store excess energy generated by the solar panels for use during periods of low sunlight. Lastly, choosing the right inverter is crucial as it converts the direct current (DC) electricity produced by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used to power your home. It is essential to ensure that all components are compatible and properly sized for optimal performance and efficiency.

Social Work and Ethnicity
Originally published in 1982 Social Work and Ethnicity was the first purpose-written text for social work students, administrators and practitioners designed to prepare them conceptually and practically for work in Britain’s established ethnic minority communities.Much more than the vicissitudes of immigration now had to be considered: this book discusses social work’s response to chronic racial discrimination and disadvantage and the hazards and advantages of taking ethnicity into account in service delivery.Emphasised throughout is the role of the social services in promoting good race relations and a better deal for black people. Social Work and Ethnicity is based on research carried out by Mrs Cheetham and sponsored by the DHSS to identify the major concerns of social workers with ethnic minority clients and to study the development of relevant services in Britain and the USA.The contributing authors are mainly practitioners and come from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds; in fact, this is the first book on social work to be published in Britain to which a substantial contribution has been made by black writers.The specially commissioned contributions discuss the fundamental questions of principle in giving special consideration to ethnicity and underline the implications for practice.In particular, the lessons which Britain can learn from American experience are reviewed.The book opens with a discussion of political and ethical questions; the problems of assessing need and monitoring services are then examined.This is followed by several chapters on the special needs of various ethnic minority client groups, particularly children and young people, who now deserve priority attention.The tricky issue of ethnic matching is discussed, so too are the different methods of developing services which are appropriate to ethnic minority needs and aspirations.Recruitment, training and education for work in a multi-racial society are subjects for several chapters and the book concludes with the experiences of two ethnic minority social workers.This book is a re-issue originally published in 1982.The language used and assumptions made are a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.

How do solar panels work?
Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. The panels are made up of multiple solar cells, which are made of semiconductor materials like silicon. When sunlight hits the solar cells, it excites the electrons in the material, creating an electric current. This direct current (DC) is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter, which can be used to power homes, businesses, and other electrical devices.
-
How are solar panels connected?
Solar panels are connected in series or parallel to form a solar array. In a series connection, the positive terminal of one panel is connected to the negative terminal of the next panel, increasing the voltage output. In a parallel connection, the positive terminals are connected together and the negative terminals are connected together, increasing the current output. These connections allow the individual panels to work together to generate the desired amount of electricity.

Is the installation of solar panels over highways a win-win situation?
The installation of solar panels over highways can be considered a win-win situation for several reasons. Firstly, it allows for the generation of renewable energy from an otherwise underutilized space, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on fossil fuels. Additionally, the shade provided by the solar panels can help to reduce the heat island effect in urban areas and provide a more comfortable environment for drivers. Finally, the revenue generated from the sale of the electricity produced can help to offset the costs of highway maintenance and infrastructure, potentially saving taxpayer money. Overall, the installation of solar panels over highways can provide environmental, economic, and social benefits.
