Abstract

Book Reviews 217 covered include family rituals, intercultural marriages, migrant and refugee families, interracial adoption, residential care, and community-based ser- vices. Finally, several contributors present in-depth discussions of ethnic identity formation. The handbook includes many illustrative case studies throughout.

It will inspire and inform readers who are interested in acquiring further insight and improving their skills in developing a global perspective, understanding contemporary intergroup relations, and meet- ing the needs of ethnic minority children.
