- Summary:
- Migration and multiculturality are not new phenomena to Europe but recent periods of unprecedented human movement have established new and evolving diasporic configurations. "Social Work and Minorities"critically examines key concepts such as assimilation, multi-culturalism, racism, marginalization and social exclusion. It will be an essential resource for social work practitioners and educators working with migrant communities throughout Europe.
