'Bringing together leading academics in the field of multicultural studies, this volume addresses the central political questions of our time - social inclusion, subjective belonging and citizenship rights. From an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, these essays offer an authoritative insight into the prospects and problems of majority-minority relationships in multicultural societies in Europe, North America and Australia. The result is a definitive assessment of the politics of cultural diversity.' Bryan S. Turner, University of Western Sydney, Australia 'This interdisciplinary collection provides valuable perspectives on the challenges of diversity. Migration has killed myths of homogeneous nations. Mansouri, Lobo and their collaborators suggest that focusing on social inclusion could provide ways towards a renewal of citizenship and social participation in all its facets. This collection, which focuses on Australia, has lessons for all countries transformed by immigration.' Stephen Castles, The University of Sydney, Australia
