| Popis: | Immigration changes the racial and ethnic composition of national populations; it reshapes urban environments, labor market structures and cultural diversity; and it raises a broad set of issues related to human rights, foreign policy and national identity. This chapter seeks to contextualize the debates by introducing the key processes through which immigration affects race relations and ethnic dynamics around the globe. International migration refers to the movement of people across national borders. Most statistical offices classify individuals as migrants only if they stay in the destination country for at least one year, and they often erase them from their databases once they naturalize and take on the nationality of the host country. Cultural integration, which is a contentious societal topic in many countries, revolves around the ways in which immigrants adopt, transform or reject the norms, values or identity frameworks of the host society. |
