How is solidarity achieved in highly diverse societies - particularly those that have been until recently characterized by rather homogeneous populations? What are the implications of growing levels of diversity on existing social arrangements? These two fundamental questions are explored in this edited collection, which examines the challenges of minority integration in four Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. These nations represent paradigmatic examples of social democratic welfare states that place a premium on a robust package of social rights, combined with policies aimed at reducing levels of class-based inequality and promoting gender equity. All four of these nations have witnessed growing levels of diversity due to immigration and three of them have been forced to rethink their policies concerning the indigenous Sámi, as well as old minority groups. Two introductory chapters, by Thomas Hylland Eriksen and Peter Kivisto, serve as a conceptual framework for the seven case studies that follow, and which, from a variety of perspectives and with differing emphases, analyze the evolving realities in these nations today. Taken together, they offer evidence of the critical issues surrounding attempts to achieve solidarity while valorizing diversity.

50 years after the establishment of the Runnymede Trust and the Race Relations Act of 1968 which sought to end discrimination in public life, this accessible book provides commentary by some of the UK’s foremost scholars of race and ethnicity on data relating to a wide range of sectors of society, including employment, health, education, criminal justice, housing and representation in the arts and media. “This is simply a must-read book for all those who want to understand racial inequalities in British society. It provides an up-to-date and convincing case that we have a long way to go in terms of achieving racial justice.” -- John Solomos, University of Warwick.

""Sprachenkampf in Böhmen"" - diese Formel war im 19. Jahrhundert der Inbegriff für das Streben nach sprachlicher Gleichberechtigung in der k.u.k. Monarchie. Die vorliegende Studie zeigt, daß die ""Sprachenfrage"" auch nach der Gründung der Tschechoslowakei im Jahre 1918 eine der fundamentalen Determinanten des Verhältnisses zwischen Tschechen und Deutschen und eines der wichtigsten Konfliktfelder im ""Nationalitätenkampf"" darstellte. Die Untersuchung zeichnet auf einer breiten Quellengrundlage die Entwicklung des Sprachenrechts in der ersten Tschechoslowakischen Republik nach. Sie analysiert
