Europe must embrace its growing cultural diversity. In today's discussions, migration is often portrayed as a societal burden. This book imagines a future where 'native Europeans and those with a migrant background, together known as the New Europeans, come to the realization that they should create a new society together.

A truly inclusive European society can be established by initiating a common project as an alternative to neoliberalism, fostering an economy that serves society's needs. For this, democratic ownership should serve as the driving force. In this process, migrants will play a vital and resilient role as catalysts. The book presents a roadmap for what the future could entail, envisioning a vision of Europe at the end of the 21st century as a 'real utopia.'

This book stands in contrast to the prevailing narratives of migration from outside Europe, offering a hopeful outlook for the continent's long-term future. Drawing on political, sociological, economic, and philosophical insights, the author ventures into uncharted territory, perhaps provoking thought but always inviting constructive dialogue.
