Experts from a variety of disciplines contribute to this substantially revised edition of this popular handbook - new chapters are included on identity work, refugee children, and the work of the Asian Project. The book also examines the central importance for professionals of the Lawrence Enquiry; the move to include more public services in the Race Relations Act; increased awareness of institutional racism; and the specific inclusion of ethnic minority children in health improvement programmes. Offering practical guidance based on sound research and practice, the book provides a focus on some of the most difficult and topical aspects of this field of work.

Reviews of the first edition

'This book should have wide appeal to almost anybody who works with children from ethnic minorities. Overall an excellent book strongly recommended for most libraries and essential reading for anyone significantly involved in cross-cultural work.'

- Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry

'I am sure that this is a book which will become required reading for many professionals who work daily with the rich variety of individuals who are collectively labelled 'ethnic minorities'... should be available to all who work with people in a professional/caring capacity.'
