  —Library Journal December 2002
• Freelance writer Minahan brings out a worthy successor to his Nations without States....This very useful compilation is recommended for undergraduate and public libraries.
  —Choice December 2002
• This reference work is an update of James Minahan's award-winning Nations Without States: A Historical Dictionary of Contemporary National Movements (Greenwood Publishing, 1996). Since that time there have been many changes in the world that have affected the people Minahan includes in this unique work. Although expensive, this is worth the price because there is nothing else like it. Here you find out about all of the peoples of the world who exist without being recognized as states with all the advantages that countries enjoy, such as having their own language, own government, and own representation in organizations like the United Nations....Just flipping through each volume is fascinating. Because the information is so well researched and not available anywhere else, it as a must purchase for any high school, college, or public library. Index. Highly Recommended.

• ...this volume could not come at a better time for teachers and students searching for current information about national and ethnic groups....As a single source of hard-to-find information about little-known nations, this set more than fulfills its promise and does so concisely, factually, and without bias.
