| Summary |
A team of seven European academics report findings from a joint research project examining how the identifications of young people from post-migration backgrounds are contextually constructed, and what factors account for this process. Centered around the civil cultures of four Western European countries--The Netherlands, Britain, Germany, and France--the project investigates ways in which the school curricula, texts, and pedagogical practices serve to transmit the ideals and preferred styles inherent in each of the civil cultures to the next generation students. The experiences of Turkish students in the four countries are compared, offering valuable insights into the changing dynamics of nation-state civil cultures in multicultural societies.
