«In a globalizing world, any ethnic group that does not control a state is in danger of cultural extinction. In this thought-provoking book, Don Ellis takes up the question of how a democratic state should communicate with and about its ethnic minorities.» (Rick McCauley, Bryn Mawr College) «Don Ellis’ Fierce Entanglements grapples with the problems of ethnopolitical conflict in multicultural societies where resources and privileges are contested. He examines problems and prospects of cultural differences and power from a communication perspective. He shows how dialogue and deliberation are needed to begin to work through such entanglements and give shape to this important literature.» (Richard Buttny, Syracuse University) «The book’s breadth, as evident in its drawing from macro negotiation and diplomacy, meso intergroup and intercultural communication, and micro interpersonal relationships, makes it a tour de force and a must-read for scholars involved in any realm of conflict management.» (Linda L. Putnam, University of California, Santa Barbara)
