Multiculturalism is higher on the daily political agenda than it
has ever been. Leading politicians and public commentators speak
with an unparalleled bluntness about the perceived limitations of
multiculturalism while representatives of cultural, minorities
express concern about marginalisation. This debate is taking place
against a background of fear about terrorism, the integrity of
national identities and a loosely construed 'clash of
civilizations'. Secularism is pitted against religious
fundamentalism, respect for difference against the right of freedom
of speech, integration against self-determination, and duties of
citizenship against minority rights. This book confronts the
reality of moral conflict in the debate on multiculturalism while
resisting the simplification which too frequently accompanies daily
commentary on both sides of an increasingly polarised debate. The
volume as a whole marks an important step in the attempt to examine
the underlying concepts, of the nature and legitimate extent of
disagreement, of secularism, the nature of power, the state and
citizenship, which inevitably constitute key assumptions in the
debate. Bringing together leading scholars on multiculturalism:
Gerald Gaus, Peter Jones, John Horton, Tariq Modood, Chandran
Kukathas, Bhikhu Parekh, Matthew Festenstein and Cecile Laborde,
this book discusses the latest developments in the field. It will
be of strong interest students and scholars of multiculturalism,
political science, political theory, international relations,
sociology, philosophy and anthropology.
