Reviews / Votes
'The book makes a novel contribution to the ethnic and racial studies. Moreover, it also discloses the need for more theoretical and empirical analysis about immigration both in the UK and in the asylum-accepting countries in the post-Arab Spring era. I advise the book scholars, graduate students and researchers who are interested in ethnicity, immigration and racism.'- Ramazan Erdag, Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Turkey , Ethnic and Racial StudiesMore details
