Description
Immigrant Nations by Paul Scheffer is a major reassessment of how immigration is changing our world. The policies of multiculturalism that were implemented in response to post-war immigration have come under intense scrutiny, particularly since 9/11, and the ongoing flow of populations has ensured that immigration remains at the forefront of social and political debate. Immigration entails the loss of familiar worlds for both immigrants and host societies, leading to conflict as people search for new ways of living together. This process prompts an intensive examination on all sides, highlighting the profound impact of immigration on institutions like the welfare state and liberties such as freedom of expression. In a globalizing world, Scheffer argues that we should move beyond multiculturalism and re-examine the meaning of citizenship. This principled book offers a fresh perspective on immigration and its challenges, making it an indispensable text for anyone interested in this critical social and political issue.
