Reviews

'For scholars whose specialized knowledge is often confined within the boundaries of one or a handful of particular nation-states, this volume offers a very useful, broad survey ot ethnicity in Asia, with contributions of consistent scope and quality. The writing style is also consistently accessible to general readers.' - The Journal of Asian Studies'Ethnicity in Asia is a valuable new contribution to the literature as a textbook that can be recommended for students of Asian societies and politics. It is an essential resource for those looking for a comprehensive introduction to ethnicity in each of the countries included here...as well as an important study with comparative insights for those reading the book as a whole. The style and format of the book is highly readable, and it contains a series of useful maps, annotated "further reading" sections at the end of the country studies, an excellent index, and interesting black-and-white photos throughout a number of the chapters.' - China Review International
