Our contemporary celebration of difference, respect for pluralism,
and avowal of identity politics have come to be regarded as the
hallmarks of a progressive, modern democracy. Yet despite embracing
many of its values, we have at the same time become wary of
multiculturalism in recent years.
In the wake of September 11, 2001 and the many terrorist attacks
that have occurred since then, there has been much debate about the
degree of diversity that Western nations can tolerate. In
"Multiculturalism and its Discontents," Kenan Malik looks closely
at the role of multiculturalism within terrorism and societal
discontent. He examines whether it is possible--or desirable--to
try to build a cohesive society bound by common values and he
delves into the increasing anxiety about the presence of the Other
within our borders."
Multiculturalism and its Discontents" not only explores the
relationship between multiculturalism and terrorism, but it
analyzes the history of the idea of multiculturalism alongside its
political roots and social consequences.
