More information on the ERCOMER publishing program is available on the Internet at: http://www.ruu.nl/ercomer/publish/index.html More general information on ERCOMER and its activities is available on the ERCOMER websites at: http://www.ruu.nl/ercomer Book Series Comparative Studies in Migration and Ethnic Relations The European Research Centre on Migration and Ethnic Relations (ERCOMER) is pleased to announce a major new series, Comparative Studies in Migration and Ethnic Relations, edited by Maykel Verkuyten, Malcolm Cross and Louk Hagendoorn. This series is intended to fill a vacuum in current publishing. It remains the case that most contributions to the field are restricted to national coverage. All the books in this series will have some wider comparative purpose. This will either be achieved by addressing an important theme from different national perspectives or by the inclusion of truly comparative studies. The books will focus on Western, Central or Eastern Europe, but may from time to time include titles covering material from other countries. Books in the series are intended to be of value to students of migration, nationalism, race relations and ethnic studies from a variety of social science disciplines as well as to established researchers and others. They are available only in paper-bound format and are intended to represent excellent value for money. AVAILABLE TITLES: Nationalism, ethnicity and cultural identity in Europe edited by Keebet von Benda-Beckman and Maykel Verkuyten Present day Europe is facing major transformations which include moves towards European unification, the re-emergence of nation-states in Eastern Europe, a rise in importance of ethnic minority groups, and the rise of nationalism and the extreme right. There seems to be a remarkable degree of consensus that culture has become and will remain a crucial issue in these developments. The prominence of culture parallels the world-wide use of the politics of identity and difference since the 1980s.This book addresses these critical issues by bringing together perspectives from a variety of disciplines, such as political science, sociology, anthropology, and social psychology. The book offers both more theoretical and empirical examinations. Contributors include: Keebet von Benda-Beckmann and Maykel Verkuyten, Eugeen Roosens, Theodor Hanf; Jan Berting and Wim Heinemeijer, Jan Nederveen Pieterse, Michael Billig, Louk Hagendoorn, Bhikhu Parekh, Bengt-Erik Borgstr=F6m, John Crowley, Erhard Blankenburg, Mohammed Arkoun Comparative Studies in Migration and Ethnic Relations 1 Published 1 December 1995, 199 pp., =A311.95/dfl.29.50 paperback, ISBN 90 75719 01 9 The threatening minority: racial violence and political extremism in Europe edited by Malcolm Cross The apparent rise in racially motivated violence [Picture of Book Cover] has been manifest at a time when economic and political integration in Europe has been high on domestic and international agendas. Are these phenomena related, or are the examples of violence and fanaticism merely a response to local circumstances or a consequence of the rise in youth related crime more generally? How much can attacks on foreigners be seen as part of a larger urban crisis or are they best regarded as manifestations of neo-fascism? This book examines these questions in North-West Europe through the writings of acknowledged experts. Contributors include: Malcolm Cross, Rob Witte, Helmut Willems, Sophie Body-Gendrot, Michael Keith, Marc Swyngedouw, Serge Govaert, Christopher Husbands, Brian Holland, Robert Miles Comparative Studies in Migration and Ethnic Relations 2 Published end of 1996, ca. 200 pp., =A311.95/dfl.29.50 paperback, ISBN 90 75719 02 7 Exclusion and inclusion of refugees in contemporary Europe edited by Philip Muus The response of Western European governments to [Picture of Book Cover] the wave of asylum applications in the past few years has been increasingly restrictive. Despite country differences, the case studies in this book reveal that one consequence of very restrictive entry may be greater difficulties for the integration of those allowed to stay or other ethnic minorities, as negative images are used to justify exclusion. In the absence or a European asylum and refugee policy, those seeking refuge are forced to rely increasingly on illegal traffickers. Contributors include: Philip Muus, Guy S.
