      abstract = {This innovative and thought-provoking study puts forth a  compelling analysis of the constitutive nexus at the heart  of the European refugee conundrum. It seeks to map and  historically contextualize some of the distinctive  challenges that pervasive ethnic and cultural pluralism  present to real politics as on the level of political  theorizing. By systematically integrating hitherto  insufficiently linked research perspectives in a novel way,  it lays open a number of paradoxical constellations and  regressive tendencies in contemporary European democracy.  It thereby redirects attention to the ways in which liberal  thought and liberal democratic practices and institutions  shape, interact with, and may even provide justification  for illiberal and exclusionary practices. This book thus  makes an important contribution to the analysis of  post-migrant realities in Europe and the ways in which they  are defined by imperial legacies, punitive migration  regimes, the culturalization of mainstream politics, and  the discursive constructions of a European Other. Christoph  M. Michael is Senior Research Fellow at Freie Universität  Berlin, Germany. His research interests lie at the  intersection of political theory, comparative politics,  anthropology and the history of political thought. He has  published on conservatism in the US, the German idea of  Heimat and multiculturalism in Europe.},
