Abstract

Taking the example of interculturality and immigration management plans for the city of Barcelona, this article critically analyses three ideas considered axiomatic regarding migration and the management of diversity in these political documents, and explores how academic developments are used, adapted or omitted in the matter. First, the article analyses the claim that diversity in the city has increased as a consequence of international migration. Secondly, it examines the notion that cultural diversity has thrown up a new situation that requires management. And finally, it considers the claim that interaction among socio culturally different persons-an element underlying various so-called 'intercultural' approaches to managing cultural diversity-is good and has socially positive consequences.
