Reviews for The Migration and Settlement of Refugees in Britain
'[A]n essential text in Undergraduate courses concerned not just with migration and refugees, but also with wider aspects of contemporary British society such as cities, labour markets and social policy. In addition, it fills an important specialist gap for more advanced level students and scholars.' - Khalid Koser, Ethnic and Racial Studies
