Summary:1. Introduction: the crisis of multiculturalism, new assimilationism and secularism -- 2. Assimilation in the French sociology of incorporation from a multicultural perspective -- 3. The liberal sociology of assimilation and citizenship and its transnationalist alternatives -- 4. Alfred Bloch's personal integration test at the threshold of his friend's home -- 5. Stuck in a revolving door -- 6. Elements of a critique of the laïcité-religion framework -- 7. Secularism, sociology and security -- 8. The highly precarious structure of assimilation: modernist philosophical schemes, memory and the Proustian narrative -- 9. Concluding remarks.
Jansen's book shows how even the most sophisticated academic views defending secularism and assimilation remain rooted in unexamined 'modernist dichotomies' inherited from French (and to some extent, European) modernism -- Publisher's description
