At a time when many public commentators are turning against
multiculturalism in response to fears about militant Islam,
immigration or social cohesion, Tariq Modood, one of the world's
leading authorities on multiculturalism, provides a distinctive
contribution to these debates. He contends that the rise of Islamic
terrorism has neither discredited multiculturalism nor heralded a
clash of civilizations. Instead, it has highlighted a central
challenge for the 21st century - the urgent need to include Muslims
in contemporary conceptions of democratic citizenship.
In the second edition of this popular and compelling book,
Modood updates his original argument with two new chapters. He
reassesses the relationship between multiculturalism,
cosmopolitanism and assimilation, demonstrating that
multiculturalism is crucial for successful integration. He also
argues that while multiculturalism poses a significant challenge to
existing forms of secularism, this challenge should not be
exaggerated into a crisis. In so doing, Modood adds new vigor to
the claim that multiculturalism remains a living force which is
shaping our polities, even as its death is repeatedly
announced.
This book will appeal to students, researchers and teachers of
politics, sociology and public policy, as well as to anyone
interested in the prospects of multiculturalism today.
