This volume is a follow up to its highly influential predecessor,
"Options for Britain," which in 1995 brought together a leading
group of academics and policy experts to assess the key economic,
social and constitutional policy options for Britain.
A decade on and the British political world is very different. Much
of the analysis in "Options for Britain" has become accepted
wisdom, and many of the policy proposals have become reality.
However, there is also a sense of deja vu. The Labour government
has been in power for a decade and governments find it difficult to
refresh themselves in power, as the legacy of their own decisions
build up. It is in these historical moments that outside thinking
such as that embodied within "Options for a New Britain" can have a
decisive influence, helping to inform the public and key
commentators, and to provide a source of ideas and inspiration.
Leading policy experts examine what has happened over the last
decade across a broad range of key policy areas, what are the
current challenges and what options might an incoming government-
regardless of political persuasion- have to address them.
Bhikhu Parekh's work is widely regarded as amongst the most
original and significant contributions to the political theory of
multiculturalism. In this book, some of the leading theorists of
multiculturalism revisit aspects of Parekh's work both to underline
its continuing importance and the vitality of multiculturalist
theory. Some contributors locate Parekh in the tradition of British
pluralism or as inspired by Gandhi; some apply his theory to a
range of controversial contemporary multicultural dilemmas and
others extend it in new directions. Multiculturalism Rethought is
essential reading for students and scholars of multiculturalism.
And if you think multiculturalism no longer has anything to offer,
this book may lead you to reconsider.
