What is Measuring Immigrant Integration: Diversity In A European City (research In Migration And Ethnic Relations) about?

How Do Social Researchers And Other Observers Recognize Successfully Integrated Immigrants? What Presumptions Are Made To Detect And Clarify Individual Differences In Integration? In This Book The Author Develops A Conceptual Model That Outlines The Numerous Normative, Theoretical And Methodological Issues Bound To The Measurement Of Immigrant Integration. He Then Uses This Model To Order And Interpret Survey Data Gathered In The Dutch City Of Haarlem. Peter Reinsch Takes An Essentially Normative Step By Ranking Residents According To Their Realization Of Three Personal Goals: Self-reliance, Contentment And Sociability. These Goals Presumably Reflect Local Objectives Characteristic Of The Tolerant Vision So Often Propagated In Dutch Debates And Policies. A Broad Selection Of Survey Measures Are Then Reviewed That Represent Divergent Clarifications For Immigrant Integration. The Book Provides Social Observers With Numerous Guidelines To Help Systematize And Ameliorate Their Analyses Of The Integration Process, A Process Crucial For The Future Of European Cities.--jacket.
