description: This stimulating and well-written text is particularly suitable as a subsidiary text for courses in politics, sociology and ethnic studies. It analyses one of the most critical issues exposed by the political changes since 1989, namely the position of minority populations in the former Eastern bloc, including Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine and Russia, and looks at their interactions with majorities. These questions are explored in terms of historical, sociological and political processes. The volume breaks new ground by providing information from local scholars and new theoretical insights, including extended comparisons with Western Europe. This text would be excellent for undergraduate courses. It includes a foreword by Sir Peter Ustinov.
