'This rich, timely volume is accessible without compromising the complexity of racial exclusion and belonging in the 21st century. A must for students and practitioners, teachers and policymakers.' - Philomena Essed, Professor of Critical Race, Gender and Leadership Studies, Antioch University, USA 'Race and ethnicity still determine people's life chances. Bloch and Solomos have brought together leading social researchers to show what this means for individuals and society. They argue that understanding is the key to change - an important message for policy-makers.' - Stephen Castles, Research Professor of Sociology, University of Sydney, Australia 'The chapters, written by leading academics in their respective fields, are comprehensive in their coverage and fit well together, forming a well-rounded overview of the current situation of migrants and minorities of migrant origin in the UK.' - Sanna Markkanen, The Journal of Social Policy
