Reviews

?An always ambitious and sometimes innovative author whose work is an unusual combination of political theory and international relations, Cook offers a well-reasoned taxonomy of policies by dominant groups toward subordinated ethnic minorities and of their actual and potential reactions to such policies. He arranges a large number of related phenomena in a few well-thought-out categories and in helpful gradation....Highly recommended. Accessible to upper-division undergraduates; particularly helpful to graduate students and beginning researchers.?-Choice
