Social scientists, most from or in the region, synthesize the current academic understanding of ethnicity in countries in East and Southeast Asia. Among the themes they address are the development of ethnicity, state policies towards minorities, some particular ethnic minorities, and ethnic conflict within states. The coverage is thickest for the last decades of the 20th century. Distributed by Taylor and Francis. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
