Negotiating Identities - States and Immigrants in France and Germany

About the author

Riva Kastoryano
Translated by Barbara Harshav

Summary

Draws on a fieldwork - including interviews with politicians, immigrant leaders, and militants - to analyze interactions between states and immigrants in France and Germany. This book argues that states contribute to the elaboration of immigrants' identity, in part by articulating the grounds on which their groups are granted legitimacy.
