Which phenomenon? That a country absorbs immigrants that
keep a kind of double nationality? I think this is as
old as the Roman Empire - probably older. A Roman
Citizen kept a double citizenship, for example, St Paul
was proud of being a jew and a roman. Many Roman Emperors
were from non-Latin ancestry.
