"An outstanding work of social science, one of the most important studies of ethnic violence to appear in many years."--Samuel P. Huntington, author of The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order "An important breakthrough in understanding the problem of ethnic conflict globally."--Robert Putnam, author of Bowling Alone, as quoted in the New York Times "A lasting contribution to our understanding of how to tackle the roots of communal violence in India."--Radha Kumar, Foreign Affairs "Scholars have hailed Varshney's] book as a major breakthrough, while the United Nations has already adopted his method to study Muslim-Christian violence in Indonesia."--New York Times "A timely, groundbreaking study."--Kenneth J. Cooper, Boston Globe "Impressive. . . . Varshney's findings are intuitively satisfying and also useful.
