Overview
Integration is a key challenge facing modern society today. Integration and Resistance offers a new theoretical perspective for considering integration. By focusing on international immigrants and their organisations from a wider perspective the author demonstrates that the threat to social integration does not lie with the immigrants themselves but with global capital and the state. By analysis of data collected in Spain and Portugal the book breaks new ground in providing information on processes occurring in intermediate-capitalist countries that share some aspects of economic development, social and migration features with Northern Europe and America whilst also sharing other features such as the economic dependence of more impoverished countries.Synopsis
Based upon case studies conducted in Barcelona and Lisbon, this text analyzes how capital, governments, and social movements have helped or hindered the integration process in those cities. The author aims to show that most foreign immigrant associations and related organizations have to position themselves in class terms in both polities.
