Rezensionen

"The ideal reader for this volume might be a student exploring how to study exclusion or a policy maker, rather than senior scholars and postgraduate students. The book o!ers some useful data as well as a couple of stimulating chapters and observations, but its agenda is a bit too broad." - Dag Erik Berg, Molde University College
