European societies are, and will continue to become, increasingly diverse. Few countries make systematic efforts to integrate migrants into their social and political fabric and fewer still can claim success. Because of existing social inequalities in several EU member states, marginalised groups are suffering from social exclusion and isolation. There are several definitions of what integration is, according to academics: Integration is an individual and a social process - hence inherently subjective and reversible - and a state resulting from the process (Bohning et al, 1995); Integration is about the kind of relations a migrant manage to establish that enable gaining knowledge and access to housing and jobs (Penninx 2000); Integration is not only a "two way process", a definition that seems to imply two homogeneous subjects: the host society and the refugee community.
