Reviews
The Construction of Equality is a timely and provocative book that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the social and spatial politics of immigration and suburban development in Europe from the postwar period to the present, admirably complicating and enriching our understanding of both Europe and the Middle East. --Sheila Crane, University of Virginia The first Syriacs--members of a Christian minority from Turkey and the Middle East--arrived in Sweden as refugees a half-century ago. Jennifer Mack has been notably versatile in combining participant observation with a wide range of other materials to offer this rich portrayal of the community in its changing habitat. At a time of dramatic crisis reporting about new refugee streams, it is good to learn about how one group has made its way over time. --Ulf Hannerz, author of Writing Future Worlds
