PO/CU 312 - Immigration and Multiculturalism in the Mediterranean from the 19th to 21st Century

This series of lectures will give a general overview of multiculturalism in relationship to immigration in the Mediterranean. Multiculturalism, identity and integration are concepts that have fueled many debates and are considered to be ambiguous. By using the multidisciplinary materials of Mediterranean studies – both theoretical and concrete approaches – we will answer this question: is there a multiculturalism that would be specific to the Mediterranean, or only several types of multiculturalism in the Mediterranean, without any unity? This question will lead us to examine the cultural identity of the Mediterranean.
