Review Quotes:
"Muslim Integration, Pluralism and Multi-culturalism in New Zealand and Australia, is an excellent academic research on the subject" --The Muslim World Book Review
"Kolig and Voyce have put together a stimulating set of reflections, studies, and analyses of one of today's most fraught challenges. The age of benign multiculturalism--that has subsumed real differentiation and regarded cultural and religious diversity as but a garnish to the dominant culture--is now challenged by the reality of accommodating deep diversity. How the Antipodes cope with Muslims and Islamic diversities is of significant interest, with global resonance." --Douglas Pratt, University of Waikato
