Editorial Reviews
Review
‘This book has plenty to offer for academics and students of multicultural and minority education. It provides a rich account and analysis of educating minorities under diverse settings – – established democracies, migrant communities, post-conflict regions, authoritarian states, and the developing world….I am particularly captivated by the concluding remark of defining education as literacy of power. Through education, minorities learn to access services and in turn shape these services.’ Benjamin Tak-Yuen Chan, Deputy Director of the Open University of Hong Kong
