This book examines the foundations of multiculturalism in the
context of emigre societies and from a multi-dimensional
perspective. The work considers the politics of multiculturalism
and focuses on how the discourse of cultural rights and
intercultural relations in western societies can and should be
accounted for at a philosophical, as well as performative level.
Theoretical perspectives on current debates about cultural
diversity, religious minorities and minority rights emerge in this
volume. The book draws our attention to the polarised nature of
contemporary multicultural debates through a well-synthesised
series of empirical case studies that are grounded in solid
epistemological foundations and contributed by leading experts from
around the world. Readers will discover a fresh re-examination of
prominent multicultural settings such as Canada and Australia but
also an emphasis on less examined case studies among multicultural
societies, as with New Zealand and Italy. Authors engage critically
and innovatively with the various ethical challenges and policy
dilemmas surrounding the management of cultural and religious
diversity in our contemporary societies. Comparative perspectives
and a focus on core questions related to multiculturalism, not only
at the level of practice but also from historical and philosophical
perspectives, tie these chapters from different disciplines
together. This work will appeal to a multi-disciplinary audience,
including scholars of political philosophy, sociology, religious
studies and those with an interest in migration, culture and
religion in contemporary societies.
