'This is a collection full of ideas and hope for the future ... The compilation of experiences from a wide range of countries enhances the strength of May et al's sustained arguments ... The implications for practice and research from this volume, make it an important and welcome contribution to the debate.' - British Journal of Educational Studies'The value of this collection lies in its detailed discussion of a range of different social contexts and of the concepts at play in the field of multicultural antiracist education. It is impossible to do justice to the book in the space available but Stephen May's book is essential reading.' - Educational Review
