Across Europe, millions of immigrants, refugees, and asylum-seekers
have often had difficulties fitting into their new societies. Most
analysts have laid the blame on a clash of cultures. Becoming
Europe provides evidence that institutions matter more than culture
in determining the shape of ethnic relations. Patrick Ireland
argues that it is incorrect blithely to anticipate unavoidable
conflict between Muslim immigrants and European host societies.
Noting similarities in the structure of the welfare states in
Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium - as well as in their
respective North African and Turkish immigrant communities - he
compares national- and city-level developments to show how
approaches toward immigrant settlement have diverged widely and
evolved over time. Becoming Europe demonstrates how policymakers
have worked hard to balance immigrants' claims to distinct
traditions with demands for equal treatment. Ultimately, it reveals
a picture of people learning by doing, in the day-to-day activities
that shape how communities come together and break apart.
