"Azzi, Chryssochoou, Klandermans and Simon have produced a topical, interesting and highly commendable edited volume concerned with identity and participation in culturally diverse socities, which will serve both established researchers and newcomers to the field." (Social Psychological Review, 2011) "This new collection uses an innovative blend of sociology, psychology and political science to outline current academic thinking about belonging and political action. Sweeping through discussions about how identity is formed, how it links to political participation, and when and why groups choose to integrate or radicalise, this book outlines the life-course of European political life."
