    Is multiculturalism compatible with immigrant integration? While effects ofminority rights and cultural recognition are controversial, I argue that notonly the analysis of multicultural policies in their interaction with otherstructures and policies deserves more attention, but also that a historicaldiscussion may inform current debates. Comparing and analyzing the FrenchHuguenots in Brandenburg-Prussia (1685–1809) and Germans in the Volga region(1764–1878), I find that incorporation outcomes, despite similarly extensivecultural rights, are driven by differing opportunity structures. These findingscontribute to the growing literature on multiculturalism in Europe and advocatea new approach to its analysis.
