Book Reviews Language and Ethnic Relations, edited by Howard Giles and Bernard Saint-Jacques. Oxford: Pergamon Press, 1979. This very interesting volume consists of the proceedings of the "Language and ethnic interaction" section of the Ninth World Congress of Sociology held at Uppsala in 1978. Like most such collections it is somewhat heterogeneous in its contents, although in this case the editors have successfully kept all the papers to the theme announced in the title of the book. The heterogeneity arises more from the rather various approaches employed by the conkibutors, which range from the highly abstract to the highly particular. All of the papers should nevertheless be of interest to the scholar working in the fields of ethnicity or socio-linguistics, since many of the questions raised in the book are really quite fundamental. Indeed, for the Southeast Asianist it is the nature of these theoretical problems that is likely to be of central interest, since none of the papers deals specifically with Asia at all (the nearest they actually get to Asia is in dealing with problems of South Asian immi- grants in the United Kingdom). Most of the empirical work relates to Wales. Canada or the USA.
