Abstract

Ethnic conflict and racial conflict are phrases often taken to describe the same phenomenon. However, when the usage of these terms in books over time is examined, a different picture emerges. Figure 1.1, taken from the Google search of words in books between 1800 and 2000, shows that neither phrase was in common use before 1900 when “racial conflict” began to appear. The other phrase did not make a significant appearance before 1960. “Racial conflict” peaked about 1970 and then declined.
