• Citizenship and Belonging in France and North America. Multicultural Perspectives on Political, Cultural and Artistic Representations of Immigration

  The first decades of the new millennium have been marked by major political changes. Although The West has wished to revisit politics concerning migration policies, refugee status, integration, secularism, and the dismantling of communitarianism, events like the Syrian refugee crisis, terrorist attacks in France in 2015-16, and the 2008 economic crisis have resurrected concepts such as national identity, integration, citizenship and re-shaping state policies in many developed countries. Analyzing the cultural and political tensions between minority groups and the state in light of political events that question ideas of citizenship and belonging to a multicultural nation, the chapters in this volume serve as a testimonial to the multiple views on the political and public perception of multicultural practices and their national and international applicability to our current geopolitical context.
