Politics of Identity: Migrants and Minorities in Multicultural States

Through the analysis of examples taken from America, the Caribbean and Western and East-Central Europe, this book addresses one of the greatest challenges for the immediate future: the impact of migration, displacement and minority cultures and peoples within the space of larger multicultural states. The book focuses on the concepts of inclusion and exclusion and the processes of ethnic self-identification, cultural traditions in host countries, ethnic stereotyping and inter-ethnic communications and tensions.
