Reviews

Myer Siemiatycki, Director, Graduate Program in Immigration and Settlement Studies, Ryerson University:
In her exploration of the processes of marginalization and mobilization of the Chinese communities in two multiracial cities, Shanti Fernando charts new ground, critically challenging the way we think about political inclusion.

Kim Geron, author of Latino Political Power:
A fascinating contribution to a dialogue on alternative forms of political participation by Chinese community groups in two multicultural North American cities. Race and the City should be read by students and scholars of urban politics, race relations, political science, and ethnic studies, as well as by those community leaders mobilizing for political change.

Lloyd Wong, co-editor of Transnational Identities and Practices in Canada:
Matters of social justice and of diverse cities are increasingly important, both for scholars of ethnic and urban studies, and for community groups and policy-makers. Without question, the political participation of racialized minorities in multicultural cities is a critical subject, one that Race and the City handles deftly.
