Compelling, theoretically sound, empirically well documented and very complete ... one of the most useful contributions to the European debate on racism and migration of recent years. It would be a serious shortcoming for anyone interested in these issues to ignore it. -- Dr Marco Martiniello, Laboratoire d'Etudes des Migrations, Universite de Liege This is a thought provoking and timely book with some excellent contributors. If, ultimately, it begs more questions that it answers that is as it should be for much of the research on which such answers will depend has yet to be undertaken. New Community Compelling, theoretically sound, empirically well documented are the main qualities of this brilliant collection of essays edited by two of the contemporary leading British scholars in the field of race and migration studies. The volume is undoubtedly one of the most useful contributions to the European debate on racism and migration in recent years. It would be a serious shortcoming for anyone interested in these issues to ignore it. International Migration Review ...represents one of the best English-language introductions to race in Europe. Patterns of Prejudice In contemporary European societies, the question of racism, linked to the politicisation of migration, is a major issue in social and political debate. The situation in countries as divergent as Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands and various Scandinavian societies shows evidence of mounting racism and hostility to migrants. This book provides an overview of the processes that led to the present situation and explores some of the options for the future. Refugee Studies Programme
