In The Ethnic Origins of Nations (Oxford: Blackwell Publishers, 1966, p. 12), Anthony D. Smith coined the term primordialists to separate these thinkers from those who view ethnicity as a situational construct, the product of history, rather than a cause, influenced by a variety of political, economic, and cultural factors. The issue of ethnicity remains intractable even millennia later (see Walter Pohl, "Conceptions of Ethnicity in Early Medieval Studies" in Debating the Middle Ages: Issues and Readings, ed. Lester K. Little and Barbara H. Rosenwein, Blackwell Publishing, 1998, pp. 13-24).
