This Element argues that community-initiated migrant heritage
harbours the potential to challenge and expand state-sanctioned
renderings of multiculturalism in liberal nation-states. In this
search for alternative readings, community-initiated migrant
heritage is positioned as a grassroots challenge to positivist
state-multiculturalism. It can do this if we adopt the migrant
perspective, a diasporic perspective of 'settlement' that is always
unfinished, non-static, and non-essentialist. As mobile subjects,
either once or many times over - a subject position arrived at
through acts of mobility, sometimes spawned by violence or
structural inequality, which can reverberate throughout subsequent
generations - the migrant subject position compels us to look both
forwards and backwards in time and place.
