Encounters between indigenous peoples and recent racial minority immigrants and refugees in classic immigration countries
Research on indigenous peoples and recent racial minority immigrants and refugees in classic immigration countries often belongs to separated areas; studies on interaction between these two populations, who have very different political and cultural status from each other, are rare so far. Yet, in some urban areas in classic immigration countries where there is relatively higher proportion of indigenous population who have moved in from the reserves, there has been rising interactions in schools, workplaces and neighborhoods between members of these groups of people. Then, what are the patterns and uniqueness of these interactions? Do they imply an emergence of new racially mixed ghettos of indigenous people and poor immigrants and refugees? This session explores patterns and issues regarding social, cultural, economic, political, residential interaction between indigenous peoples and recent racial minority immigrants and refugees in classic immigration countries and its policy implications.
