Abstract
Developing the critique of notions of the "integration of immigrants", twelve propositions are advanced to diagnose the methodological nationalism of mainstream approaches. The concept of "integration"contains assumptions about the nature and functioning of modern society which, in a post-industrial and post-colonial context, are falsely trapped within the normative bounds of thinking for the nation-state. An alternate empirical operationalisation is suggested that would render traditional types of assimilation and integration research obsolete.
