Philosophies of integration

Description

"Despite comparable colonial experiences and postwar immigration, France and Britain have developed very different national responses to the policy problem of integrating ethnic minorities. In this groundbreaking comparative work. Adrian Favell sets out the role that liberal ideas and arguments have had in shaping the distinctive policy frameworks in the two countries. This new edition, published in paperback, contains a new preface bringing the volume up-to-date in the light of new legislation and developments."--BOOK JACKET.

First Sentence
