Imagined Societies analyses how discussions of immigrant integration, culture, religion, and sexuality promote notions of national societies.

Recenzje

'Schinkle offers an imaginative view of European identity and the immigration phenomenon at the center of current heated debates throughout Western Europe. His stimulating monograph underscores that what it has meant to be European has been both ephemeral and intangible for centuries.' P. Lorenzini, Choice
