This study examines the ways in which multiculturalism is defined in different European countries and identifies different models: corporate multiculturalism; civic republicanism; ethnic nationalism and the Gastarbeiter system; the Southern Mediterranean unregulated and then restrictive regime; the minority nation.
Country snapshots of multicultural theatre and dance scenes in Austria, Belgium, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Scotland and Spain are presented and are partly based on interviews carried out by Jude Bloomfield with cultural operators in these countries. She concludes that "the most important issues for the second generation artists are to open up closed institutions and force them to share resources and foster their long term artistic development so their creativity can be brought fully to bear on the contemporary culture of European societies".
