A short, sharp and compelling book. The message of the book is clear in a war of competing narratives, the line on immigration pedalled by the rightwing press cannot be allowed to stand. An ideological battle must be fought with facts and stories that counter the dominant representation of migrants as a threat to economic stability and societal cohesion. -- Alex Preston, The Observer Concise, precise, beautifully designed, illustrated and written. If you want to learn a lot about what matters most, in as short a time as possible, this is the series for you. -- Danny Dorling, Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography, University of Oxford This highly accessible but scholarly series which sees leading social scientists in the UK tackle some of the key issues facing us all today is exactly the sort of publication the Academy of Social Sciences has encouraged over the years. Congratulations to SAGE on bringing it out. -- Roger Goodman, Chair, Academy of Social Sciences
