Can sociology meet the moment: Book Review of Seeing Others: How to Redefine Worth in a Divided World , by Michèle Lamont, Reviewed by Adrian Favell
Superflat
Aida, Makoto
We need new words: On Transatlantic Translations of Race and Racialisation
A book review of Ann Morning and Marcello Maneri's An Ugly Word: Rethinking Race in Italy and the United States, which assesses their intervention into the difficult but developing field in comparative international sociology of race and ethnicity. They advance a model that would replace reference to "race" or "ethnicity" with a more encompassing notion of "descent-based difference". The review suggests their empirical evidence for the ongoing ef…
Optimism and the wreckage of racial injustice
The (postcolonial) return of grand theory in American sociology: Julian Go on postcolonial thought and social theory
Julian Go's BJS annual lecture is discussed in reference to his landmark OUP text Postcolonial Thought and Social Theory (2016). Go is one of the most prominent names in a "third wave" of post-colonial thought, now spearheading a post- (or de-) colonial turn in sociological theory, something that has professionally revived the sub-field of "grand" social theory in mainstream US sociology. While endorsing the aims and substantive themes of this tu…
In the wake of Brexit: Negotiating diversity and majority-minority relations in the North of England
Our contribution to this special issue brings the theoretical and empirical orientations of the Becoming a Minority (BaM) project into dialogue with the complex and charged post-Brexit geography of the North of England. We present findings from the UK ESRC funded project Northern Exposure: Race, Nation and Disaffection in ‘Ordinary’ Towns and Cities after Brexit, drawing upon a period of co-productive and ethnographic work with local authority st…
Pull up the roots: Response to Dahinden, Goodman, Statham and Schinkel on The Integration Nation: Immigration and Colonial Power in Liberal Democracies (Polity 2022)
A rejoinder to the critical reviews of The Integration Nation: Immigration and Colonial Power in Liberal Democracies by Janine Dahinden, Sara Wallace Goodman, Paul Statham, and Willem Schinkel. The Integration Nation lays out a manifesto for critical migration studies, that builds on a critique of the mainstream literature and its normative linear notions of immigration, integration and citizenship. Two readers see the argument and its conceptual…
Immigration, integration and citizenship: Elements of a New Political Demography
A critical review of the state-of-the-art in migration studies. The paper centres on a contrast between established comparative scholarship - elaborating progressive models of immigration, integration and citizenship, that reflect the increasingly diverse, migrant-built societies of the North Atlantic West - and a new generation of work in the last decade, influenced by critical, anti-racist and decolonial theory, that rejects this 'Eurocentric' …
Integration: 12 Proposals
Developing the critique of notions of the “integration of immigrants”, twelve propositions are advanced to diagnose the methodological nationalism of mainstream approaches. The concept of “integration” contains assumptions about the nature and functioning of modern society which, in a post-industrial and post-colonial context, are falsely trapped within the normative bounds of thinking for the nation-state. An alternate empirical operationalisati…
European Outliers? Rethinking Europeanisation and Euroscepticism in Britain and Denmark
In the light of Brexit and ongoing doubts about the future of a united Europe, have Britain and Denmark really been outliers to the collective European project, as suggested by their political positioning towards the EU? Despite the Euroscepticism expressed in referenda and public attitudes, we question whether these two countries are inherently less Europeanised, sociologically speaking, than other member states habitually seen as closer to the …
Commentary: A Citizenship without Social Rights? EU Freedom of Movement and Changing Access to Welfare Rights
Despite not being grounded in the classic nation‐building dynamic of citizenship identified by T.H.Marshall, EU citizenship offers social rights and welfare protection to non‐nationals on a principle of non‐discrimination. We narrate a creeping process of retrenchment by which European member states have used policy strategies to undermine this principle, by transforming the unique idea of free movement of persons in the EU to just another form o…
Here, there and everywhere: Nationalism after Brexit
Sivamohan Valluvan's The Clamour of Nationalism offers a convincing diagnosis of how a protean ideology of nationalism has successfully wound its way through the mainstream politics of the right and the left in the UK, laying the ideational foundations for Leave's victory, and the rise of Boris Johnson to power. Bringing to bear the powerful legacy of critical race studies after Hall and Gilroy, it sucessfully shows how and why English nationalis…
Everyday Europe: Social Transnationalism in an Unsettled Continent
This book offers an empirically-based view on Europeans' interconnections in everyday life. It looks at the ways in which EU residents have been getting closer across national frontiers. The book considers how people reconcile their increasing cross-border interconnections and a politically separating Europe of nation states and national interests
Everyday Europe: Social transnationalism in an unsettled continent
Integration: Twelve propositions after Schinkel
By way of a commentary on Willem Schinkel’s ‘Against “immigrant integration”: For an end to neocolonial knowledge production’ in this volume, I propose twelve propositions in order to rethink the academic use of the concept “integration” in contemporary migration studies. The notion of “immigration integration” is deeply embedded in a methodological nationalism found throughout mainstream research and policy making on “immigration” that reproduce…
Brexit: A requiem for the post-national society
The ‘fourth freedom’ of freedom of movement of persons – somewhat misleadingly labelled ‘European citizenship’ – lay at the normative heart of the European project. Although sceptics have often suggested it was part of the building of a European fortress, or even a last gasp of elite European colonial privilege, the essential point of EU freedom of movement was its revolutionary introduction of a regionally expansive non-discrimination by nationa…
Governing multicultural Brussels: Paradoxes of a Multi-Level, Multi-Cultural, Multi-National Urban Anomaly
Updating our earlier work on Brussels as the paradigm of a multi-level, multi-cultural, multi-national city, and in the context of Brussels’s recent troubled emergence as the epicentre of violent conflict between radical political Islam and the West, this paper sets out the paradoxical intersection of national (i.e. Flemish and Francophone), non-national and ethnic minority politics in a city placed as a multi-cultural and multi-national ‘urban a…
The limits of liberalism, and the limits of critique
Liberalism not Neo-Liberalism: Comment on Will Kymlicka’s article: “Solidarity in Diverse Societies”
Will Kymlicka has been an admirably staunch defender of multiculturalism over the years, despite the tendency of many fellow scholars to echo politicians such as Angela Merkel and David Cameron in pronouncing the end of this progressive philosophy (Joppke & Morawska, 2003). He has also done much to tackle the pernicious idea, linked to this and propogated by scholars such as Robert Putnam, that immigrant diversity is damaging for solidarity (Putn…
Just like the USA? Critical notes on Alba and Foner’s cross-Atlantic research agenda
A critical review of Alba and Foner's Strangers No More (2015 Foner, Nancy. 2015. "Is Islam in Western Europe Like Race in the United States?" Sociological Forum 30 (4): 885–899. [Google Scholar]) which focuses on questioning their comparative assimilation of European cases of immigrant integration to the North American, specifically U.S., experience. While this may work in terms of how national immigrant integration has mitigated over time racia…
Creative East–West cosmopolitanism? The changing role of international mobility for young Japanese contemporary artists
This chapter offers another angle on the “transnational trajectories” in East Asia by considering the cross-border dynamics of Japanese modern and contemporary art-and particularly the international mobility of artists-as part of an Asian-led cultural globalization. Japanese artists were among the first to be presented as part of the “discovery” of world art in the late 1980s. Yet although a vibrant commercial and conceptual contemporary art scen…
The fourth freedom: Theories of migration and mobilities in ‘neo-liberal’ Europe
The article challenges the orthodoxy of current critical readings of the European crisis that discuss the failings of the EU in terms of the triumph of 'neo-liberalism'. Defending instead a liberal view on international migration, which stresses the potentially positive economic, political and cultural benefits of market-driven forces enabling movements across borders, it details the various ways in which European regional integration has enabled…

The New Face of East–West Migration in Europe
In order to contextualise the papers in this special issue, this paper presents an overview and framework for understanding the importance of East–West migration in Europe associated with the EU enlargement process. The new patterns and forms of migration seen among East European migrants in the West—in terms of circular and temporary free movement, informal labour market incorporation, cultures of migration, transnational networks, and other phe…
The Sociology of the European Union: An Agenda
We seek to shape an agenda for the growing interest in using sociological approaches to study the European Union (EU). In order to deepen and broaden the Europeanization agenda, the article points to how sociology can help reveal the ‘social bases’ of European integration (i.e. processes of European Union), as well as identify effects on European society that might reconnect EU studies with key comparative political economy debates about the Euro…

Markets against politics: Migration, EU enlargement and the idea of Europe
This article examines new migration to Europe in the context of EU enlargement and debates about fortress Europe, framing the general agenda for the papers that follow in this special issue. We argue that the (normatively informed) image of fortress Europe is an inadequate account of migration and migration policy in Europe in three respects: the movement of family members, asylum-seekers and labour migrants has been substantially positive; enlar…

Games without Frontiers? Questioning the Transnational Social Power of Migrants in Europe
This paper asks whether it is possible to study “elite” professional migrants in Europe with the same concepts and theories being used to explain the incorporation and/or integration of “ethnic” (i.e., non European) migrants in Europe; that is, in terms of their social mobility and social power in their new host countries. While globalisation may in theory make it easier for these professional migrants to transfer their “social capital” to other …

James Coleman: Social Theorist and Moral Philosopher
The reception of James Coleman's monumental recent work Foundations of Social Theory has to date been narrowly technical in scope. This article seeks to redress this by offering a broader, philosophical reading of Coleman's work, one that brings out the full breadth of his intentions. It considers his account of the failings of contemporary political and moral philosophy and his own theory of rights, the self, and corporate structures in society.…

Multi-ethnic Britain: An exception in Europe
Most homegrown commentators on race and multiculturalism in Britain find it very difficult to believe that multi-ethnic Britain has anything much it can learn from continental Europe. Arguing against this view, Favell diagnoses the reasons why British academics tend to fall back on 'exceptionalist' arguments. It is wrong to characterize the achievements and peculiarities of British multicultural race relations in terms that disconnect it from sim…

Citizenship and immigration: Pathologies of a progressive philosophy
Across Western Europe and North America, ideas about citizenship have become central to understanding the problems involved in immigration and the integration of ethnic minorities and likewise to formulating their resolution in public policy. Academics for their part have reflected this growing political interest by rediscovering citizenship as a theoretical concept, going well beyond its formal legal meaning into discussions about its symbolic, …
Philosophies of integration: Immigration and the idea of citizenship in France and Britain
A comprehensive comparative study of the distinct ideas and political arguments that have shaped French and British policies towards their ethnic minorities, and the effects of these intellectual frameworks at local, national and European levels. The author sets out the divergent conceptualisations of citizenship, nationality, pluralism, autonomy, public order and tolerance that make up the national "philosophies" in the two countries--republican…

Integration Nations: The Nation-State and Research on Immigrants in Western Europe
Despite its somewhat old-fashioned, functionalist air, “integration” is still the most popular way of conceptualizing the developing relationship between old European nation-states and their growing non-European, “ethnic” immigrant populations. It is also widely used to frame the advocacy of political means for dealing with the consequences of immigration in the post-World War II period. Many similar, difficult-to-define concepts can be used to d…
