Multiculturalism

Zusatztext Ali Rattansi has written a highly accessible and academically sound analysis of research outcomes and actual policy measures in Britain and several other West European immigration countries! in particular France and the Netherlands. He argues convincingly that implementing core Western values cannot but lead to a form of multiculturalism! even though most politicians no longer like to give it that name. I highly recommend reading this book. Informationen zum Autor Ali Rattansi was educated at the Universities of Manchester and Cambridge. His publications include Racism: A Very Short Introduction (OUP, 2007), Race, Culture, and Difference (Sage 1992), and Racism, Modernity, and Identity (Polity Press, 1994). Klappentext Has multiculturalism failed? Is it time to move on? What is the alternative? Ali Rattansi explores the issues, from national identity and social cohesion to cultural fragmentation and 'political correctness'. Providing a balanced assessment of the truth and falsity of the charges against multiculturalism, he explores new ideas for the future. Zusammenfassung Has multiculturalism failed?
