Against the widespread assumptions that integration has been handled well in Ireland

Reviews"this book argues that integration in Ireland is a bottom-up process, in which empowerment is vital. It offers a short and very useful introduction into the lives of Ireland's immigrants and it is sure to appeal to both scholars in the field and the general reading public." (Nanette Solan-Schuppers, University College Dublin, Irish Journal of Sociology, 2014) The book is well written and provides a comprehensive window into the situations facing African migrants in Ireland in their quest to belong. -- .
