Individual commitments - Opis:
- When an interviewee proclaims that she/he supported cultural and ethnic plurality, but then proceeds to argue that immigrants did not really fit into her/his homogeneous society, the effect is baffling. This article analyses these apparently paradoxical accounts in order to explore why concepts of homogeneity were being referred to. Thus case-studies of individuals engaged in civil society immigrant-support organizations are presented based on problem-centred interviews conducted in Beppu (Japan) and Halle/ Saale (Germany). Employing methods of qualitative data content analysis this article argues that concepts of homogeneity may appeal to plurality-supporters in order to protect ambitious self-images.
