20In Canada, the welcoming of thousands of Ukrainian immigrants after 1945 even extended to include tolerance towards the creation of monuments commemorating their fight in the Waffen SS during World War II against a former ally, the Soviet Union (Rudling 2020).

21The exhibition ‘Exodus’ ran from May 21, 2014 until March 27, 2016. https://www.mas.be/en/page/exodus-exhibition.

22Hull House in Chicago, founded by Jane Addams, illustrates this point well: by the end of the 19th century, Hull House served the needs of Italian, Irish, German, Greek, Bohemian, Russian, and Polish Jewish immigrants living in slum-like conditions. As an institution, Hull House provided kindergarten and day care facilities for children of working mothers, an employment bureau, an art gallery, libraries, English and citizenship classes, and also theater, music, and art classes. As the complex expanded to include 13 buildings (space now occupied by the University of Chicago), Hull House supported a Labor Museum, the Jane Club for single working girls, meeting places for trade union groups, and various cultural events. https://www.hullhousemuseum.org/about-jane-addams.

23A more recent debate due to the Trump administration’s actions revolves around to what extent anti-Hispanic rhetoric and Islamophobia inspire many of his supporters.

24See the overview in Helsloot (2012) and the earlier debate in Helder and Gravenberch (1998).

25As Böröcz (2010, 104) points out, the ideas of class superiority, nationalism, and racism due to colonial relations continues to dominate the contemporary political mindset of the European elites. This, in turn, cannot be separated from “the blatantly racist, joint immigration policies of the EU” (Böröcz 2010, 188).

26On the spiral of terrorism, racism, anti-Semitism, and the potential break-up of Europe, see Wieviorka (2018, 223).

27For the extent to which the legal structure of the EU undermines existing nationalisms, as well as a multitude of ill-conceived nation state-based integration and assimilation policies vis-à-vis recent immigrants, see the vociferous criticisms articulated by Kochenov (2011).
