Europe has become a novel experiment in multiple, tiered and
mediated multiculturalisms. It is now a supranational community of
cultures, sub-cultures and trans-cultures inserted differentially
into radically different political cultural traditions. The
consequences of this re-imagining and re-making of a new Europe are
variously seen to be threatening or utopian. In a post-Communist,
post-national era, multiculturalism has been theorized as a
paternalistic, top-down solution to the 'problem' of minorities, a
dangerous reification of 'culture', or a new way forward to a
politics of 'recognition' and 'authenticity'.
But is multiculturalism simply a novel project of social
engineering, devised for the twenty-first century by well-meaning
liberals or communitarians? The authors of this book reject this
view by demonstrating that multiculturalism is the political
outcome of ongoing power struggles and collective negotiations of
cultural, ethnic and racial differences.
