Global Perspectives on the Politics of Multiculturalism in the 21st Century (eBook, ePUB)

A case study analysis
Redaktion: Mansouri, Fethi; Ebanda de B'béri, Boulou

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the contested philosophical foundations of multiculturalism and its, often controversial, applications in the context of migrant societies. It also explores the current theoretical debates about the extent to which multiculturalism, and related conceptual constructs, can account for the various ethical challenges and policy dilemmas surrounding the management of cultural diversity in our contemporary societies. The authors consider common conceptual and empirical features from a transnational perspective through analysis of the case studies of Australia, Canada, Columbia, Germany, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Uruguay.
