'Through a psychological lens, The New Immigration Challenge offers a global consideration of the mass movement of people across border and boundaries. Exploring national backlash, multiple identities, and implications for intergroup relations, this book offers an excellent introductory text for readers interested in diversity and commonality in a globalised world.'
