“The case studies in this book present very diverse and rich empirical data and analyses. Each chapter is strong, giving a good historical overview of citizenship policies in the respective countries, while at the same time they also focus on developments over the last few decades. … The book is an important and useful addition to the literature on citizenship education, national identity, and diversity.” (Necla Acik, Sociology, Vol. 50 (1), 2016)
