Reviews

What is multiculturalism? How is it different from ideologies and movements that resemble it but are nevertheless quite different? What are its origins and patterns of development in different countries? Why has it provoked hostility in some societies and been received with great relief in others? Has it exhausted its constructive potential and become irrelevant, or does it have a future, and of what kind? While much has been written on multiculturalism, some of the questions listed above and others associated with them have received relatively little attention. This well-constructed and skilfully edited collection of fine essays, each probing a particular aspect of multiculturalism, fills the gap and deserves a warm welcome. Bhikhu Parekh, House of Lords Assessing Multiculturalism in Global Comparative Perspective grounds multiculturalism in history and theory, while exploring its contemporary relevance in light of challenges from the ethnonationalist right and its strained relationship with progressive emancipatory movements. The book's outstanding contributors offer a uniquely global perspective on some of the most pressing problems confronting diverse polities the world over. Highly recommended for all students of contemporary membership politics. Triadafilos Triadafilopoulos, Associate Professor, University of Toronto
