Recensioner i media

"This is a landmark book, offering the first in-depth analysis of the discourse around 'religion' in modern English family law, and providing unique insight into the way English law struggles with understanding religious commitment and taking religion seriously in decisions about children. It reveals how judges mix up religion, race and ethnicity with sometimes quite surprising results. A must read." - Soren Holm, Professor of Bioethics, School of Law, University of Manchester, UK
