'Informative and accessible' - The Times Educational Supplement 'Highly recommended to any reader who is looking for a contextualised insight into the school life of Asian children.' - International Journal of Punjab Studies Vol 7 No. 1 'Any review is unable to provide justice to the groundbreaking and compelling nature of this original and readable account of the complex, multiple-featured lives of Asian Children and families. The paramount impression throughout and in her well thought out conclusions is that, 'despite the odds stacked against them, ordinary working-class Asian children (and their families) continue to struggle with such optimism and fortitude (p. 238). It is a book from which teachers, academics, parents, sectors of society from all cultures can learn and one which manages to prove accessible, academically rigourous and exceptionally engaging.' - British Journal of Educational Studies
