Abstract
This paper argues that cultural minorities enjoy a basic right to recognition and rejects the idea that migrants implicidy renounce their culturaTclaims when they leave their countries of origin, when they enter the receiving society, or when they may return. Need for cultural recognition arises from the ethnicization of immigrant minorities. A catalog of minority rights provides a reference list for assessing the particular cultural rights of immigrant minorities. They can generally claim rights which recognize a multicultural transformation of receiving societies (equality, liberty, pro? tection from individual discrimination, and public resources for cultural reproduction). However, most immigrants cannot reasonably claim rights derived from historic discrimination, or from collective autonomy within a federation of potentially separate polities.
