This is a beautifully written book that breaks new ground. Working across family, childhood and leisure studies, Utsa Mukherjee brings to life the ways that race and class are integral to the everyday practice of how parents bring up their children. It is a marker in its field. Rosalind Edwards, University of Southampton This book brings together the literature on middle-class, non-white migrants and their children's participation in organised leisure-time activities. The result is an excellent portrayal of neoliberal incursions into 'leisure' and non-white migrant parents' attempts to practice intensive parenting as a way of breaching the racist structures which envelop their lives. Bandana Purkayastha, University of Connecticut
