Citizenship and diversity have been two major topics of debate over the last decade. But these two topics have been largely discussed in mutual isolation. This book examines the specific points of conflict and convergence between concerns for citizenship and diversity in democratic societies and reasseses and refines existing theories of "diverse citizenship" in light of actual practices and policies of pluralistic democracies.
