Review:

"This is an outstanding ethnographic case study that should stimulate broad interest among ethnosociologists, scholars of ethnicity and regime change, and students of social movements. It readily can be used as a text [for] advanced undergraduates and graduate students." -- Steve Breyman, Perspectives on Political Science

"The new Klarkins work adds new dimensions to democratization theory and the literature of ethnopolitics as a whole. Defining ethnicity as a potentially very positive force, and even as a catalyst, to building democracy; presenting regime-type, national and ethnic identities as interrelated in the democratization process; and establishing that coercion must be a part of any analysis of democratization in the NIS are but three of her most worthy contributions to the fields." -- Natalie Melnyczuk, Demokratizatsiya
