Full title :Integrating strangers in society : perspectives from elsewhere / Jos D.M. Platenkamp, Almut Schneider, editors.

Summary

"This book provides a uniquely positioned contribution to the current debates on the integration of immigrants in Europe. Twelve social anthropologists -- "strangers by vocation"--Reflect upon how they were taken in by those they studied over the course of their long-term fieldwork. The societies concerned are Sinti (northern Italy), Inuit (Canadian Arctic), Kanak (New Caledonia), Māori (New Zealand), Lanten (Laos), Tobelo and Tanebar-Evav (Indonesia), Banyoro (Uganda), Gawigl and Siassi (Papua New Guinea) and a township in Odisha (India). A comparative analysis of these reflexive, ethnographic accounts reveals as yet underrepresented, non-European perspectives on the issue of integrating strangers, enabling the reader to identify and reflect upon the uniquely Western ideals and values that currently dominate such discourse."
