Presenting an unprecedented wealth of empirical research garnered during ten years of a cross-cultural project, \u003ci\u003eContested Citizenship\u003c\/i\u003e addresses these fundamental issues by comparing collective actions by migrants, xenophobes, and antiracists in Germany, Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRevealing striking cross-national differences in how immigration and diversity are contended by different national governments, these authors find that how citizenship is constructed is the key variable defining the experience of Europe's immigrant populations. \u003ci\u003eContested Citizenship\u003c\/i\u003e provides nuanced policy recommendations and challenges the truism that multiculturalism is always good for immigrants. Even in an age of European integration and globalization, the state remains a critical actor in determining what points of view are sensible and realistic—and legitimate—in society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRuud Koopmans is professor of sociology at Free University, Amsterdam.
