‘A particularly impressive contribution by this book is that not only does it greatly enhance understanding of the relationship between immigration and nationalism, but by doing so, it provides important insights into the contemporary condition of societies and politics in Europe and North America and the boundaries of inclusion and exclusion that they maintain and sustain.’
