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.
"Anyone seeking an authoritative analysis of multiculturalism need lock no further than this book. Comparative in nature, sophisticated yet accessible, it demolishes the myths that opponents have created around multicultural policies." Professor Lord Anthony Giddens, Former Director, London School of Economics.
"Ali Rattansi has written a highly accessible and academically sound analysis ... I highly recommend reading this book." Han Entzinger, Professor of Migration and Integration Studies, Erasmus University, Rotterdam.
