Europe has changed demographically. Different waves of immigrants moved to Western European societies in since last century out of diverse reasons. Some came because of economic reasons; others as members of previous colonies of their hosted states; and yet another wave of people followed as a result of wars and political upheavals. In some European countries, and out of different reasons, segments of the immigrants started to organize themselves along national, ethnic and religious lines, creating in the process separate cultural and social entities, sometimes functioning with different cultural norms than those prevalent in the general society.
The terrorists’ attacks of 9/11 have a clear impact on the lives of minorities of Muslim heritage and the discourse on minorities in European societies. On the one hand, minorities of different national and cultural backgrounds started to be reduced to their religious identity and addressed mainly as ‘Muslims’. On the other hand, fear of what is being described by far right groups as the ‘enemy living amongst us’ became visible – an enemy without face raising the banner of Islam and aims to destroy indiscriminately. In both cases, citizens of Muslim heritage are essentialized, regarded as separate entities, foreign, and serve as an example of ‘the other’ – who either should be protected or does not belong. In both cases, the essentialized ‘Muslims’ are rarely considered equal citizens.
In this seminar, we will look at divergent theoretical approaches to the subject matter of this seminar and how they concretely may shape the policy decision-making in Western democracies. Several concrete case studies will be discussed and with them the consequences and the implications for future integration policies. Requirements:
