Opis

This book draws on classic anthropological concerns--including person models, classification, gifts and reciprocity, and culture concepts--to explore the logic of integration policies, official concepts of culture, multiculturalism, multicultural educational strategies in schools, and debates surrounding genuine and false refugees, with a particular focus on Muslim immigrants and Islamophobia.
