'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
