Sommario/riassunto

Offers information on educational issues and conflicts in Britain, starting from the 1960's. This title uses examples such as political and media reactions to Afro hairstyles in the 1970's through to hijabs and niquabs, to illustrate how misplaced are the simplistic arguments that blame minorities for segregation or lack of community cohesion.
