From Conflict to Recognition - Moving Multiculturalism Forward (Paperback)

This volume will be of interest to scholars examining the relationship between culture and identity, concepts of individual and group agency in multicultural settings, and the effect that our globalising world has on regional cultural systems and local communities. "From Conflict to Recognition: Moving Multiculturalism Forward "grew out of research presented at the "3rd Global Conference of Multiculturalism, Conflict and Belonging "held by Inter-Disciplinary.net at Mansfield College, Oxford University in September 2009. The conference provided a platform for researchers from diverse regions of the world and a variety of fields to present their work and engage each other on the major cultural transformations and epistemological shifts occurring in the current global paradigm. A unique aspect of the volume is its dialogic structure: each author refers to the work of other authors in the book; thus forming threads through-out the work, which link what are often perceived as unrelated issues. The volume is comprised of thirteen chapters divided into four thematic sections: "Rights, Culture and Recognition"; "Complex Stories of Identity Formation"; "The Interweaving of Self and Other - Being and Belonging"; and "Crossing Boundaries and the Language of the Aesthetic."
