What is multiculturalism and what are the different theories used
to justify it? Are multicultural policies a threat to liberty and
equality? Can liberal democracies accommodate minority groups
without sacrificing peace and stability? In this clear introduction
to the subject, Michael Murphy explores these questions and
critically assesses multiculturalism from the standpoint of
political philosophy and political practice. The book explores the
origins and contemporary usage of the concept of multiculturalism
in the context of debates about citizenship, egalitarian justice
and conflicts between individual and collective rights. The ideas
of some of the most influential champions and critics of
multiculturalism, including Will Kymlicka, Chandran Kukathas, Susan
Okin and Brian Barry, are also clearly explained and evaluated. Key
themes include the tension between multiculturalism and gender
equality, cultural relativism and the limits of liberal toleration,
and the impact of multicultural policies on social cohesion ethnic
conflict. Murphy also surveys the legal practices and policies
enacted to accommodate multiculturalism, drawing on examples from
the Americas, Australasia, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
Multiculturalism: A Critical Introduction is an ideal starting
point for anyone coming to the topic for the first time as well as
those already familiar with some of the key issues.
