The question of integration has become an important concern as many
societies are experiencing a growing influx of people from abroad.
But what does integration really mean? What does it take for a
person to be integrated in a society? Through a number of
ethnographic case studies, this book explores varying meanings and
practices of integration in Denmark. This welfare society,
characterized by a liberal life style and strong notions of social
equality, is experiencing an upsurge of nationalist sentiment. The
authors show that integration is not just a neutral term referring
to the incorporation of newcomers into society. It is, more
fundamentally, an ideologically loaded concept revolving around the
redefining of notions of community and welfare in a society
undergoing rapid social and economic changes in the face of
globalization. The ethnographic analyses are authored by
anthropologists who wish to engage, as scholars and citizens living
and working in Denmark, in one of the most contentious issues of
our time. The Danish perspectives on integration are discussed from
a broader international perspective in three epilogues by
non-Danish anthropologists.
