“This book will inform those interested in understanding the concept of tolerance in schools. To have confidence in extending the findings to other contexts around the globe, similar studies would need to be adopted and repeated.” (Aaron Imig, International Journal of Christianity & Education, April 08, 2019)“Everett employs a mixed-method approach in examining concepts as complex and abstract as ‘cohesion’ and ‘tolerance’. She uses the quantitative approach to capture students’ attitudes towards minorities and the qualitative approach to extract the deeper meaning behind the expression of tolerance. … The book clearly meets its objectives in investigating the differences between the attitudes of tolerance between the students of faith schools and non-faith schools in England … .” (Sadaf Rizvi, Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, November 23, 2018)
