Reviews
Clear and comprehensive, essential reading for students and scholars alike, an authoritative analysis of nationalism and nationality in the era of the Internet, Ethnopolitics in Cyberspace fills a critical gap in our hitherto anecdotal understanding of the use of the Web by cyber-elites and peoples without countries. Too sophisticated a scholar to merely celebrate the new ecumene of cyberspace, Saunders shows that the Internet is not neutral but a double-edged sword. He analyzes how subaltern nations, national minorities, immigrant diasporas, and other groups without real-world territories are able to bridge borders, oceans, and time electronically to pursue their identity projects.--Wolf Schafer

Drawing on a variety of disciplines in innovative and exciting ways, Robert A. Saunders has produced a delightfully written and provocatively argued book that will challenge many views of how national identity is produced and reproduced in today's world.--Alexander J. Motyl
Intriguing, topical, balanced, and well-supported by empirical information, Ethnopolitics in Cyberspace will likely become an important book on the contemporary evolution of nationalism. -- Karim H.Karim Clear and comprehensive, essential reading for students and scholars alike, an authoritative analysis of nationalism and nationality in the era of the Internet, Ethnopolitics in Cyberspace fills a critical gap in our hitherto anecdotal understanding of the use of the Web by cyber-elites and peoples without countries.
