Rezensionen

"The process of European unification raises one set of difficulties for the self-understanding of nationals of the member-states: Are we citizens of country X, or Europeans? The presence of minorities - whether indigenous or immigrant - creates further conundrums, for these relativize the status of the dominant group. Add the question of whether Turkey is European, and the dilemmas are legion. This volume contributes context and perspective to the vexed debate over what Europe is and where multiculturalism might fit into its future. A valuable addition to a complex discussion." - John Torpey, Professor of Sociology, City University of New York, Graduate Center
