Reviews

This volume is a welcome antidote to the many books that confine themselves to an examination of multiculturalism in a single context. It should be read by anyone trying to understand the complex realities of globalization and multiculturalism in the twenty-first century.
*Ethnic and Racial Studies*

This is a thoughtful collection of essays which examine a number of important themes in a coherent manner. It is highly recommended for courses concerned with multiculturalism, comparative racial and ethnic relations, identity politics, and cultural studies.
*Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies*

A book that is undeniably of great interest.
