Multiculturalism has long been linked to calls for tolerance of
cultural diversity, but today many observers are subjecting the
concept to close scrutiny. After the political upheavals of 1968,
the commitment to multiculturalism was perceived as a liberal
manifesto, but in the post-9/11 era, it is under attack for its
relativizing, particularist, and essentializing implications. The
essays in this collection offer a nuanced analysis of the
multifaceted cultural experience of Central Europe under the late
Habsburg monarchy and beyond. The authors examine how culturally
coded social spaces can be described and understood historically
without adopting categories formerly employed to justify the
definition and separation of groups into nations, ethnicities, or
homogeneous cultures. As we consider the issues of multiculturalism
today, this volume offers new approaches to understanding
multiculturalism in Central Europe freed of the effects of
politically exploited concepts of social spaces.
