While multicultural composition of nations has become a catchword
in public debates, few educators, not to speak of the general
public, realize that cultural interaction was the rule throughout
history. Starting with the Islam-Christian-Jewish Mediterranean
world of the early modern period, this volume moves to the empires
of the 18th and 19th centuries and the African Diaspora of the
Black Atlantic. It ends with questioning assumptions about
citizenship and underlying homogeneous "received" cultures through
the analysis of the changes in various literatures. This volume
clearly shows that the life-worlds of settled as well as migrant
populations in the past were characterized by cultural change and
exchange whether conflictual or peaceful. Societies reflected on
such change in their literatures as well as in their concepts of
citizenship.
