"This ground-breaking volume tackles the hard issues - war,
genocide, ethnic conflict, and violence - as well as why
ethnic cooperation, assimilation, and accommodation occurs. Global
in its scope, this book provides an important overview of the
complexity of ethnicity and brings together the very best social
science thinking on the topic. It should be required reading for
anyone who wants to understand this central problem of our times."
Mary C. Waters, Harvard University
