description Questions related to immigration, asylum-seekers, & xenophobia in Germany are discussed in light of current theories about multicultural societies. The distinctive feature in the German case is how this historically homogeneous society added a special constitutional clause after WWII that welcomed asylum-seekers & foreign workers due to its need for immigrant labor. At present a complex network of ethnic connections & boundaries is observable in distinct neighborhoods. It is suggested that the key feature of multiculturalism is strangeness, not diversity. Analysis of the behaviors of native vs immigrant groups illustrates the potential for a true multicultural society to emerge. 59 References.
