Runnymeade's Quarterly Bulletin
"Milton Esman's highly original and insightful new book focuses
on a hitherto underanalyzed type of ethnic conflict that is of
crucial and growing importance in the 21st century. It is both a
superb example of comparative analysis and a rich source of
persuasive policy recommendations."
Arend Lijphart, University of California, San Diego
"Using examples from four continents, Milton Esman documents the
major variations determining whether diasporas adjust to their host
societies, continue to evince a predominant loyalty to their
homelands or evolve a hybrid set of attachments. By his analytical
clarity and pointed illustrations, the author has made a noteworthy
contribution to diaspora studies."
Robin Cohen, University of Oxford
"A wide ranging and insightful analysis of the distinctive
trajectories that diasporic groups experience. Esman deftly
illuminates the challenges posed by large-scale movements of people
and charts the potential pathways for incorporating migrant
communities into their new host societies."
Margaret Weir, University of California, Berkeley
