Magnus Dahlstedt is Associate Professor in the Institute for Research on Migration, Ethnicity and Society at Linköping University, Sweden.　

Anders Neergaard is Associate Professor in the Institute for Research on Migration, Ethnicity and Society at Linköping University, Sweden.

'I found International Migration and Ethnic Relations a very enjoyable read and a useful source to which I came back time and again for ideas and inspiration to structure some of the discussions in an optional class I delivered this term on ‘‘Race, Ethnicity and Migration. (...) All in all, this book does excellently the difficult job of presenting foundation concepts in the field of race, ethnicity and migration together with the main debates surrounding them, while providing useful empirical examples.'
