"The new edition of Montserrat Guibernau and John Rex's Ethnicity Reader makes it the most useful volume of its kind available at present: its range is marvellous, its texts the most important and the most recent in the field." John A. Hall, McGill University "Guibernau and Rex have put together a superb collection of writings on ethnicity. They have selected from the best historical and contemporary scholarship on this fraught issue, covering a wide range of topics, from citizenship to violence. Most importantly, the variety of contributions spans the globe. The Ethnicity Reader is an excellent resource for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in a wide range of disciplines." Eric D. Weitz, University of Minnesota "The wide-ranging coverage of contemporary issues of 'ethnic' conflict and integration is what distinguishes this reader. It is a welcome addition to our course reading lists." Yasemin Soysal, University of Essex
