Covering an unrivaled range of social welfare issues, this wide-ranging overview and marriage of theory, history, and contemporary data makes important debates about discrimination and social equality more accessible to a contemporary student audience interested in migration, the EU, austerity, and global terrorism.

Recenzijos

"A timely resource packed with theoretical and empirical advances in the understanding and framing of debates of race and ethnicity in contemporary society.

Nilufar Ahmed, Swansea University "This is a welcome update, giving a readable, critical and grounded guide to a core field of social policy, which too often slips off the political and social science agendas." Norman Ginsburg, London Metropolitan University
