Understanding Difference: The meaning of ethnicity for young lives - Softcover

Understanding Difference brings together wide-ranging evidence to gain a better understanding of ethnicity for young people. Many aspects of Britain's young multicultural population's lives are examined: who they are, the meaning of their own ethnicity, their home circumstances, health, education and welfare, and their experiences of racist behaviour. This book will be of interest to professionals, researchers, service providers and policy-makers and anyone else working with young people.

Children and young people in Britain represent many ethnic groups. This book asks how ethnic background contributes to different experiences and needs, and which differences matter to children and young people.
