About the Books
Migration, Citizenship and Intercultural Relations
Migration, Citizenship and Intercultural Relations reflects on the tensions andcontradictions that arise within debates on social inclusion, arguing that both the conceptof social inclusion and policy surrounding it need to incorporate visions of citizenship thatvalue ethnic diversity. Presenting the latest empirical research from Australia andengaging with contemporary global debates on questions of identity, citizenship,intercultural relations and social inclusion, this book unsettles fixed assumptions aboutwho is included as a valued citizen and explores the possibilities for engendering inclusivevisions of citizenship in local, national and transnational spaces.Organised around the themes of identity, citizenship and intercultural relations, thisinterdisciplinary collection sheds light on the role that ethnic diversity can play in fosteringnew visions of inclusivity and citizenship in a globalised world.

Reviews
'Bringing together leading academics in the field of multicultural studies, this volume addresses the central politicalquestions of our time - social inclusion, subjective belonging and citizenship rights. From an interdisciplinary andcomparative perspective, these essays offer an authoritative insight into the prospects and problems of majority-minorityrelationships in multicultural societies in Europe, North America and Australia. The result is a definitive assessment of thepolitics of cultural diversity.'Bryan S. Turner, University of Western Sydney, Australia'This interdisciplinary collection provides valuable perspectives on the challenges of diversity. Migration has killed mythsof homogeneous nations. Mansouri, Lobo and their collaborators suggest that focusing on social inclusion could provideways towards a renewal of citizenship and social participation in all its facets. This collection, which focuses on Australia,has lessons for all countries transformed by immigration.'Stephen Castles, The University of Sydney, Australia

The contributors in this book expose the power relationsunderpinning such encounters as well as explore the possibilities for meaningfuldialogue.
