Focusing on local diversity policies in the Netherlands, Belgium, and the UK, the book offers an ethnographic study that reveals a new politics of difference marked by 'paradigmatic pragmatism.' Through extensive fieldwork in cities like Amsterdam, Antwerp, and Leeds, it explores how these policies blend multiculturalism, assimilation, and diversity rather than merely replacing previous approaches. The author connects these insights to the modernization of municipal authorities and the evolving roles of bureaucrats in implementing these policies, making it relevant for those studying immigration and multiculturalism.
