The metamorphoses in Hemshil identity that I have described above appear to have peaked, but the process is not yet at an end. This research vividly demonstrates the extreme flexibility and suppleness of ethnic identity, continually reacting to social change and particularly to social disruption that threatens disaster for the ethnic community. The conclusion is not a novel one. The research illustrates the theses of constructivist researchers, `Identity changes when for some reason it becomes a problem. Radical changes in the social structure can be a factor when accompanied by changes in the prevailing psychological reality' (Berger & Luckmann, 1995, p. 289). It is precisely these processes that have been at play and that continue to prevail in the case of the Hemshils.
