Reviews

"Several of the essays are interpretively interesting; particularly useful are those essays on nationalisms that are not well known outside their circle of scholarship, such as the Philippines or, most especially, Pakistan. In part because it was so revealing- to the reviewer, at any rate- and in part because it was so well done." Pacific Affairs: Winter 2001-2002 Winter 2001-2002 ."
