Critics Review
‘As a introduction to the study of ethnicity, [this] book will do excellently’ – Ethnologia Scandinavica‘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’ – Ephraim Nimni, School of Political Science, University of New South Wales
‘An excellent book when it first came out, Ethnicity and Nationalism is an even richer, more subtle book in this new edition’
– Nations and NationalismAbout The Author
