Original Reviews of Racism and the Incorporation of Foreign Labour: ‘This book will be very useful to a broad spectrum of people working in a variety of disciplines, interested in the process of racialization and the process of migration in general as well as in Canada. It will also appeal to those who seek to develop a non-essentialist and dynamic approach to social phenomena which occupy a central place in today’s world.’ Danielle Juteau, University of Montréal ‘The book should not only be read by specialists in Canadian immigration. It signals an important concern with the practical realities of immigration bureaucracies…’ Josiah Mcc Heyman, International Migration Review Volume 26, Issue 4 (1992).
