Societies of the early 21st century are composed of many intersecting cultures, defined by status as citizens or recent immigrants and other societal hierarchies. Past-oriented segments of state populations decry the loss of essentialized national identities. What is lacking in this set-up of the debate is the young generation. This volume brings together European and Canadian studies in sociology, history, and cultural studies.

Dr. Dirk Hoerder teaches North-American social history and migration history at Bremen University, and has directed several internationally cooperative and comparative research projects on migration and acculturation.
