This is one of the essential books on ethnicity. Broad in scope and detailed enough to benefit from the anthropological approach throughout the book.
I would recommend this book for undergraduate and postgraduate courses on ethnicity and nationalism.
Very insightful text ideal for undergraduate programme
This book unfortunately is unsuitable for the Education Studies degree.
This book will offer my students an excellent resource when they need to explore the concept of ethnicity in more detail. It has a certain self-reflexivity (eg. giving quite a bit of weight to how the notion of ethnicity has emerged and is debated in scholarship) which is important but may lose some students who are new to the area and need a more introductory text, so I would include this on my reading lists as a supplemental rather than essential text.
Did not cover all of the areas I needed for the course. The book did have some very good sections.
