Media Reviews

Highly topical and rich in creative ideas on how to increase solidarities, this book will provide an inspiration to those promoting social cohesion Ines Newman, Visiting Senior Research Fellow, De Montfort University, and author of Reclaiming local democracy (Policy Press, 2014)
In an international context of change and volatility, this book presents an important resource for policy makers, practitioners and activists. Most importantly, it presents the reader with the voices of displaced people themselves. Mae Shaw, University of Edinburgh
