Overview

This book investigates the most recent debates about immigration in Western Europe and its comparison to North America. The contributors from Western Europe, Canada, and the United States enter into a dialogue in order to further understanding of the European situation and of migration at large. The book focuses on three themes: 1) basic issues in contemporary German and European migration at large, sketching the situation since 1945, and focusing on new developments since the early 1980s; 2) the ways in which the citizenship debate has proceeded and how the problem of citizenship, in relation to immigration, has been dealt with by the receiving states in Western Europe; and 3) how migrants have responded to their situation in various receiving countries, most importantly, what sort of institutional structures they have elaborated and how these structures relate to the host society.
