Multiculturalism appears to be in terminal crisis. It has been
blamed for undermining national identity, diluting social cohesion,
creating ethnic ghettos and cultural fragmentation, providing
fertile ground for Islamic radicalism, encouraging perverse
'political correctness', and restricting liberal freedoms of
expression, amongst other things. The public debate over
multiculturalism has polarised opinion amongst the general public,
policy makers, and politicians. But how much real evidence, beyond
tabloid headlines and anecdotes, exists for these claims? In this
Very Short Introduction, Ali Rattansi considers the actual evidence
from social science research to provide a balanced assessment of
the truth and falsity of the charges against multiculturalism.
Dispelling many myths in the process, he also warns about the
dangers that lurk in an uncritical endorsement of multiculturalism,
and concludes by arguing that it is time to move on to a form of
'interculturalism'. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions

almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect
