Asians and the new multiculturalism in Aotearoa New Zealand
\"Asians and the New Multiculturalism in Aotearoa New Zealand presents thought-provoking new research on New Zealand's fastest-growing demographic - the geographically, nationally and historically diverse Asian communities. What kind of multicultural framework best suits New Zealand's rapidly expanding ethnic diversity? Can the Treaty of Waitangi - initially set up to accommodate British settlers and to recognise the tangata whenua - serve as the basis for New Zealand's immigration policy in the new millennium? Could all citizens embrace multiculturalism? Aotearoa New Zealand is a fusion of indigenous, settler and immigrant populations. This collection examining Asian communities in Aotearoa highlights the unresolved tensions between a dynamic biculturalism and the recognition of other ethnic minorities that are increasingly asserting themselves. Multiculturalism and Asian-ness are addressed together for the first time in this articulate addition to the ongoing debate about the population diversity of Aotearoa New Zealand\"--Back cover.

Imagined societies : a critique of immigrant integration in Western Europe
\"In many countries in Western Europe, the demand for immigrant integration has inevitably raised questions about the \"societies\" into which immigrants are asked to integrate. Imagined Societies critically intervenes in debates on immigrant integration and multiculturalism in Western Europe. Schinkel argues that the term \"multiculturalism\" is not used primarily to describe a type of policy or political philosophy in countries such as the Netherlands, France, Germany or Belgium, but rather as a rhetorical device that promotes demands for \"integration\". He analyses how such demands are ways of imagining the very idea of a \"host society\" as \"modern\", \"secular\" and \"enlightened\". Starting from debates in social theory on social imaginaries, and drawing on public debates on citizenship, secularism and sexuality, and on the social science of measuring immigrant integration, this book presents a highly original study of immigrant integration that challenges our understanding of the concept of society\"-- Provided by publisher.

Reflections on the revolution in Europe : immigration, Islam and the West
By overestimating its need for immigrant labor and underestimating the culture-shaping potential of religion, Europe has trapped itself in a problem to which it has no obvious solution. When immigrants arrive, they are not required to adopt European values--and they are disinclined to. Muslims dominate or nearly dominate important European cities, and the foundations of European culture and civilization are being challenged--and replaced.

Tri-faith America : how Catholics and Jews held postwar America to its Protestant promise
In Tri-Faith America, Kevin Schultz explains how the United States left behind the idea that it was \"a Protestant nation\" and embraced the notion that Protestants, Catholics, and Jews were \"Americans all.\" Schultz describes how the tri-faith idea surfaced after World War I and how, by the end of World War II, the idea was becoming widely accepted. During the Cold War, the public religiosity spurred by the fight against godless communism led to widespread embrace of the tri-faith idea and Catholics and Jews used tri-faith rhetoric to challenge the nation's established moral authority.
