“This in an excellent volume … [that] brings together papers of a uniformly high standard by some of the most experienced and knowledgeable scholars working on this region. ... The papers more than demonstrate the complexity and dynamism of identifications in the region and clearly reflect the insight and experience of long-term researchers in the field. ... It is an original and valuable collection ... which provides a sensitive and nuanced exploration of the meaning of identity in everyday lives as well as in relation to conflict and government.”  ·  Cherry Leonardi, Durham University
