Based on rich case studies of immigration worldwide, Taras shows that nationhood occurs when the receiving state negotiates ethnic differences to form a natural bond with immigrants, rather than insisting on blind loyalty to the majority culture. Drawing on extensive research in transnationalism and ethnic conflict around the world, Taras re-evaluates the concepts of nation and nationalism in light of the major demographic changes brought about by global migration. The result is a framework for understanding the emergence of postmodern nationhood in the era of globalisation and beyond. The goal is a broad, value-added society of diverse peoples and successful prevention of criminality, ghettoization, extremism and even radicalisation through reasonable immigrant integration.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>A comprehensive introduction to nationhood in contemporary states This book challenges a standard definition of nationhood by setting it apart from national identity, nationalism and diversity.

The goal is a broad, value-added society of diverse peoples and successful prevention of criminality, ghettoization, extremism and even radicalization through reasonable immigrant integration.
