`The book's great strength from the point of view of non-lawyers lies in the clarity with which it unfolds, expounds and analyses the arguments that have been used by international bodies, states and ethnic movements to justify particular courses of action and inaction.

Immigrants and Minorities `offers a fresh approach to the origins of self-determination ... offers clearly argued positions about contentious issues ... very well written and ... accessible to most readers.
