Review Quotes:
'As a introduction to the study of ethnicity, [this] book will do excellently''This is a delightful book. The volume is well structured and written in clear and accessible language; it will not be at all surprising if it becomes a major teaching aid and textbook in the field''An excellent book when it first came out, Ethnicity and Nationalism is an even richer, more subtle book in this new edition'
