Alice Bloch, Sarah Neal and John Solomos discuss some of the most pressing social issues in multiethnic contemporary society." - Miri Song, Professor of Sociology, University of Kent, UK "An outstanding assessment of contemporary policy debates and everyday multiculture in the UK that push us to reflect on how we can bridge the gap between theory and policy innovation and how we can explain the continuing failure of the British state to deliver racial justice." - Ian Law, Professor, University of Leeds, CERS (Centre for Ethnicity and Racism Studies) UK and author of Red Racisms, racism in communist and post-communist contexts
