Review:
Indispensable for every student in the field. -- Times Literary Supplement
This is an unfrightening book, and while no doubt ideal as a 'primer' for academics approaching the subject, also a useful conspectus for the interested layman who means to go no further. -- Books Ireland
This seminnal book is an important introduction to discussions about the diaspora because of its cautionary approach to the subject and its unbiased representation of every facet of it. -- Irish University Review
