Overview
The world is experiencing an era of immigration where in the course of the last four decades the global number of people living outside their heritage country has more than doubled to a number higher than at any time in history. One result of this massive immigration is societies becoming ethnically more plural and culturally more diverse. One question to this reality is how do or should people of different cultural backgrounds live together? This question has become very urgent in the face of recent economic crises and social and political stratifications that have the potential of creating tensions among different ethnic and cultural groups.
