This book challenges the prevailing view that local
authorities are irrelevant in immigration policy-making.
Presenting an in-depth ethnographic study of the recent
implementation of local ‘diversity policies’ in the
Netherlands, Belgium and United Kingdom, it identifies a new
politics of difference, characterized by a ‘paradigmatic
pragmatism’. Building on extensive fieldwork in Amsterdam,
Antwerp and Leeds, the author shows that, rather than simply
replacing an earlier politics of difference, local diversity
policies combine ideals of multiculturalism, assimilation and
diversity. She links these findings to the ongoing
modernization and diversification of municipal authorities,
and the impact of this transformation on the profile of the
bureaucrats and their implementation of diversity policies.
This thought-provoking work will appeal to students,
researchers and practitioners engaged in the fields of
immigration, diversity and multiculturalism.
