Foreword Preface The Dictionary Appendix A Appendix B Index
JAMES MINAHAN is an independent researcher and freelance writer living in Barcelona, Spain.
"You and I are fortunate to have this book available to us.
Concisely and clearly each entry here contains the essential facts
about the 'nations' without states. Quickly, quietly this book can
be consulted whenever we discover or realize that as alert
individuals or as scholars we are not omniscient. We can or must
consult a reliable source about a nation' when we read or hear that
one of them or its members have proudly publicized its identity by
staging a demonstration or celebrating an anniversary, by
protesting a grievance or petitioning some organization such as a
church or the United Nations, or by committing a noble or atrocious
act. This 'dictionary' is veritably encyclopedic in its
scope."-From the foreword by Leonard W. Doob

?In an era when new nations seem to spring up like mushrooms, this
reference work fills a gap by providing libraries an easy way to
access information on the many newly independent states and,
perhaps more significantly, the national movements of aspirant
states, which range from the familiar (Chechenia) to the obscure
(Haudenosaunee, the Iroquois Confederation in Canada and the
US)...this very useful handbook for today's changing world is
recommended for public libraries and undergraduate
collections.?-Choice

source will be a welcome addition to any academic reference
collection.?-RUSQ
