Reviews
“This is a timely book, thorough, grounded in both the literature and experience. It will move the discussions forward at a time when new forces of migration and the need for improved social integration in both developed and developing countries are making and will make RVA even more important.” (Alan Rogers, International Review of Education, Vol. 62, 2016)
