Reviews of the Book: “I will be including it in the reading list for substantive courses both on diversity and neighbourhood effects and research methods discussing measurement techniques, model building, the use of open-ended questions, and the graphical presentation of results” Neli Demireva (University of Essex), European Sociological Review. “This is both a thorough and very thoughtful book, with much to recommend it to scholars interested in the impacts of ethnic diversity on social cohesion and trust from a range of disciplines, and it deserves the very positive cover endorsements from Robert Putnam, Miles Hewstone and Michael Banton” Paul Thomas (University of Huddersfield), Ethnic and Racial Studies. “Overall, Ethnic Diversity and Social Cohesion should be an essential read for social scientists studying social change in European societies brought about by international mobility and ethnic diversification” Aneta Piekut (University of Sheffield), Central and Eastern European Migration Review.
