Worlding Multiculturalisms (eBook, PDF)

The Politics of Inter-Asian Dwelling

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Worlding multiculturalisms are practices that infuse our arbitrary cultural lives with new things from other cultures in poetic ways to enable us to dwell and be at home with the complexity of the world. In the context of the crisis of multiculturalism in the West and the growing obsolescence of state-based multiculturalism in the postcolonial world, this book offers examples of new practices of worlding multiculturalisms that go beyond issues of immigration, integration and identity. It draws on cultural studies approaches to document instances of worlding multiculturalisms that bring Asian cultures into conflict, dialogue and settlement with each other, instances with the potential to transform social relations and the very terms of cultural exchange.
