Macro‐theoreticconsiderations
Social construction of assimilation and incorporation• Mainstream and minority define desired outcomes, these may vary within groups, across groups, across societies (Alba, Reitz and Simon 2102)
• Does a ‘mainstream’ exist?
Plural societies• Segmentation v. heterogeneity• Elite accommodation
