Book Description
'We need books like this' Literary Review
'Western Europe became a multiethnic society in a fit of absence of mind.'
Taking us from English suburbs to Parisian housing estates, this provocative, unflinching and engrossing book tackles uncomfortable questions about immigration and Islam head-on, and asks: why can't we face the truth?
