From international press coverage of the French government's
attempt to prevent Muslims from wearing headscarves to terrorist
attacks in Madrid and the United States, questions of cultural
identity and pluralism are at the center of the world's most urgent
events and debates. Presenting an unprecedented wealth of empirical
research garnered during ten years of a cross-cultural project,
"Contested Citizenship" addresses these fundamental issues by
comparing collective actions by migrants, xenophobes, and
antiracists in Germany, Britain, France, the Netherlands, and
Switzerland.
Revealing striking cross-national differences in how immigration
and diversity are contended by different national governments,
these authors find that how citizenship is constructed is the key
variable defining the experience of Europe's immigrant populations.
"Contested Citizenship" provides nuanced policy recommendations and
challenges the truism that multiculturalism is always good for
immigrants. Even in an age of European integration and
globalization, the state remains a critical actor in determining
what points of view are sensible and realistic--and legitimate--in
society.
