Rezensionen

"This work promises to durably shake up our understandings of higher education and social mobility, while offering important new insights into the reproduction of race inequities at the heart of the French republic. A must read."

Elaine Coburn, Director of the Centre for Feminist Research, York University, Canada

"Challenging some core assumptions underlying France's model of integration and national imaginary, Shirin Shahrokni's book is a timely, compelling and critical contribution to international scholarship on race, class, migration, higher education and society. Essential reading for anyone concerned with higher education and social justice."

Aziz Choudry, University of Johannesburg, South Africa
