Essential reading Trade Review"This book convincingly shows how the study of groups, particularly the interface of inter-group and intra-group processes, implicates such cognitive and intra-personal foci as attitudes, prejudice, and social cognition. At last we have an integrated volume which returns social phenomena to the intersect of personal and inter-personal processes. This is, or should be, the essence of social psychology, and this volume articulately reminds us that we and our social context (not our cognitive processes alone) determine our behaviour."—Martin Kaplan, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, University of California Table of ContentsSeries Editors’ Preface vii Preface ix 1 Shared Cognition in Small Groups 1 R.

Containing Diversity would work well as a core text addressing the politics or sociology of migration in Canada whose chapters each address a core theme, or as an assigned book for students to review and contend with its framework.” -- John Carlaw, Toronto Metropolitan University * Journal of Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies *"One of the most exciting contributions to the immigration literature in the last few years, Containing Diversity is a valuable resource not only for migration scholars, but also for policy analysts, as well as immigrants themselves who wish to learn about Canadian immigration policies." -- Deniz Cevik * École nationale d’administration publique, International Journal *“Containing Diversity makes what is often invisible, visible, shedding new and substantial light on the struggles of im/migrant groups who are at once essential to national economies, yet multiply marginalized on intersecting grounds of oppression.” -- Alexandra Dobrowolsky, Saint Mary’s University * Canadian Ethnic Studies *“With Containing Diversity, Abu-Laban, Tungohan, and Gabriel not only offer a convincing and disconcerting appraisal of the politics that shape 21st century immigration policy in Canada, but also a carefully articulated ethical path forward – one that supports a politics of social and global justice” -- J.
