How is solidarity achieved in highly diverse societies -
particularly those that have been until recently characterized by
rather homogeneous populations? What are the implications of
growing levels of diversity on existing social arrangements? These
two fundamental questions are explored in this edited collection,
which examines the challenges of minority integration in four
Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. These
nations represent paradigmatic examples of social democratic
welfare states that place a premium on a robust package of social
rights, combined with policies aimed at reducing levels of
class-based inequality and promoting gender equity. All four of
these nations have witnessed growing levels of diversity due to
immigration and three of them have been forced to rethink their
policies concerning the indigenous Sami, as well as old minority
groups. Two introductory chapters, by Thomas Hylland Eriksen and
Peter Kivisto, serve as a conceptual framework for the seven case
studies that follow, and which, from a variety of perspectives and
with differing emphases, analyze the evolving realities in these
nations today. Taken together, they offer evidence of the critical
issues surrounding attempts to achieve solidarity while valorizing
diversity.
