Rethinking Ethnicity Reviews

'The collection is clearly useful for triangulating the phenomenon of ethnic dominance.' - Journal of Peace Research


Rethinking Ethnicity is a fascinating collection of studies of political status seeking and status reversal on the part of dominant or once-dominant ethnic groups. With its bountiful array of materials, it presents a panoramic picture of ethnic change and of efforts to thwart. - Donald L. Horowitz, Duke University
