If, as W. E. B. Du Bois observed, the problem of the twentieth
century was the problem of the color line, the problem of the
twenty-first century may be one that reaches back to premodernity:
religious identity. Even before 9/11 it was becoming evident that
Muslims, not blacks, were perceived as the "other" most threatening
to Western society, even in a relatively pluralist nation such as
Britain. In Multcultural Politics, one of the most respected
thinkers on ethnic minority experience in England describes how
what began as a black-white division has been complicated by
cultural racism, Islamophobia, and a challenge to secular
modernity. Tariq Modood explores the tensions that have risen among
advocates of multiculturalism as Muslims assert themselves to catch
up with existing equality agendas while challenging some of the
secularist, liberal, and feminist assumptions of multiculturalists.
If an Islam-West divide is to be avoided in our time, Modood
suggests, then Britain, with its relatively successful ethnic
pluralism and its easygoing attitude toward religion, will provide
a particularly revealing case and promising site for understanding.
