Balancing Unity and Diversity

November 29 - 30, 2005.
Tamar Jacoby, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, spoke about American immigration before university students and faculty in Muenster, Siegen and Dortmund on November 29 and 30. Jacoby discussed traditional patterns of integration in the U.S. as well as recent challenges presented by growing numbers and concentrations of immigrants, global mobility and communications, and concepts of multiculturalism. Her topic, “Balancing Unity and Diversity in a Changing Nation,” highlighting some major differences between European and American concepts of immigration and integration, was very well received.
