Gender and ethnicity in contemporary Europe Contemporary Europe is in the midst of a cultural and social crisis. Debates over how European societies should respond to their changing ethnic profile lie at the heart of this crisis whilst the issues raised have been given sharper focus by nation alist political parties espousing an anti immigration agenda. This book examines the relationship between gender and ethnicity in Europe viewed from within an immigration framework. To date much of the research on Europe has treated gender and ethn icity in isolation. The contributors to this collection rectify this.
