Presenting an in-depth ethnographic study of the recent\nimplementation of local ‘diversity policies’ in the Netherlands, Belgium and\nUnited Kingdom, it identifies a new politics of difference, characterized by a\n‘paradigmatic pragmatism’. Building on extensive fieldwork in Amsterdam,\nAntwerp and Leeds, the author shows that, rather than simply replacing an\nearlier politics of difference, local diversity policies combine ideals of\nmulticulturalism, assimilation and diversity. She links these findings to the\nongoing modernization and diversification of municipal authorities, and the\nimpact of this transformation on the profile of the bureaucrats and their\nimplementation of diversity policies. This thought-provoking work will appeal\nto students, researchers and practitioners engaged in the fields of\nimmigration, diversity and multiculturalism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u0026lt;\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-07-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137521835\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-52185-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 254\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752474243212,"sku":"9781137521835","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137521835.jpg?v=1775958067","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137521835","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
