It focuses on the ways in which people live with diversity, moving beyond simply celebrating or bemoaning `multiculturalism’. And it does so with the help of cases drawn from beyond the usual suspects, in and beyond Europe."" - Allan Cochrane, The Open University “This book provides a timely and international comparative analysis of diversity and crucially shows that diversity does not deserve its negative connotation.
