It reminds us of the importance of micro-perspective, accounts of young people and the meanings young people give to broad social narratives they encounter and shows the value of extensive ethnographic fieldwork. -- Ethnic and Racial Studies This book offers a rich ethnography of the lives of refugee youth in a culturally diverse world. Eschewing both celebratory multiculturalism and a narrow focus on racism, the book deftly examines the ways race and friendship are woven together in the identity-making practices of young refugees. Moran insightfully foregrounds the importance of understanding the 'responsive' nature of identity in forging a sense of place and belonging in culturally diverse schools. --Greg Noble Coeditor of Convivialities: Possibility and Ambivalence in Urban Multicultures Belonging and Becoming in a Multicultural World is a wonderfully fresh account of how refugee-background youth challenge, invert, and identify with racialized and ethnicized identity categories and navigate difference in their daily lives. The book foregrounds the voices of young people themselves, offering a much-needed counter-narrative to the all-too-often calcified identity constructs that animate much political discussion today. More than anything, it offers a rich account of the narrative forces that shape how diverse young people are able to realize a sense of belonging in a multicultural society. --Amanda Wise Coeditor of Convivialities: Possibility and Ambivalence in Urban Multicultures """The book is exceptionally legible and accessible, is written clearly and concisely, and is available as an Open Access volume. It will appeal to scholars and students across disciplines - such as education, anthropology, sociology, geography, ethnic studies, political science, social work, and public administration - as well as to a general public that is interested in human rights, migration, youth, race, ethnicity, and multiculturalism.""-- ""Anthropology Book Forum"" ""New Books Network: New Books in Anthropology"" interview with Laura Moran-- ""New Books Network: New Books in Anthropology"" ""Laura Moran's work is innovative, well researched and engaging.
