Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Immigration from diverse origins has not only changed the social composition of highly industrialized societies. It has also profoundly affected their cultural identities. In the first part of this book, five authors address the controversies about multiculturalism from the perspectives of normative political theory, historical and comparative analysis and sociological theory. In the second part, five other researchers examine how patterns of cultural pluralism are articulated in specific countries and integration policies. The common denominator is that cultural diversity resulting from immigration is seen as a fundamental challenge to which liberal democracies have yet to respond.
