The intensity of feeling that multiculturalism invariably ignites
is considered in this timely analysis of how the 'New Britain' of
the twenty-first century is variously re-imagined as multicultural.
Introducing the concept of 'multicultural intimacies', Anne-Marie
Fortier offers a new form of critical engagement with the cultural
politics of multiculturalism, one that attends to ideals of mixing,
loving thy neighbour and feelings for the nation. In the first
study of its kind, Fortier considers the anxieties, desires, and
issues that form representations of 'multicultural Britain'
available in the British public domain. She investigates: the
significance of gender, sex, generations and kinship, as well as
race and ethnicity, in debates about cultural difference the
consolidation of religion as a marker of absolute difference 'moral
racism', the criteria for good citizenship and the limits of
civility. This book presents a unique analysis of multiculturalism
that draws on insights from critical race studies, feminist and
queer studies, postcolonialism and psychoanalysis.
