Recenzje

'Green takes on big questions about how the structural transformation of the political economy shapes the nature of ethnic identity. This book is terrifically ambitious in theoretical and empirical scope, engaging with a wide range of distinctive empirical cases in both the Global North and Global South. It makes us reconsider how we study the politics of ethnic change in the social sciences.' Lauren M. MacLean, Arthur F. Bentley Chair of Political Science, Indiana University-Bloomington
