Abstract

The concept of immigrant integration has been defined by multiple constituent actors such as academics, host communities, media and governments. This chapter engages in an integrated analysis and discussion of the findings of both the thematically varied definitions of integration and the richer cognitive schemas and frames of integration provided by Muslim participants of this research. This chapter reveals an emerging clash of integration frames between immigrant integration stakeholders.
