'Gabriel Sheffer is among the leading figures of this expanding field of research that is diaspora studies ... a worldwide known expert. Diaspora Politics represents an important contribution to a field ... Sheffer's attempt to define conceptual boundaries and provide tentative classifications is helpful and should be greatly welcomed. [An] insightful and very readable book. Sheffer's volume proves indeed to be an excellent and solid contribution to an expanding field of research and will certainly remain a must read for several years to come.' Matteo Fumagalli, Ethnic and Racial Studies ' ... clarifies the core concepts that undergird migration and the diaspora phenomenon. It also outlines an important typology of diasporism. Essential to anyone interested in the dynamics of migration, diaspora, and diasporism. Through his profound analytical insight, deep historical knowledge of diasporas, and fluid prose, Sheffer clearly presents the most salient issues pertaining to migration and diasporism. Diaspora Politics is an authoritative work on diaspora politics; it is rich in substance, innovative in ideas, and replete with references.' Georges E. Fouron, SUNY Stony Brook, International Studies Review 'Characterized by a true comparative perspective, the study contrasts with work of the many who claim that perspective but in fact project a model based on their expertise in only one diaspora ... This will be a core text for diaspora studies. Essential.' Choice 'The treatment is clearly explained, methodical and accurate and includes details of many important algorithms as well as proofs of many important theorems, although some proofs are necessarily omitted ... the test is well cross-referenced and thoughtfully written, meaning that it is very accessible. All in all, a treasure trove of results written by an acknowledged master of combinatorial matrix theory.' Zentralblatt MATH
