Beyond Multiculturalism

While the anthropological field initially shied away from the debate on multiculturalism it has been widely discussed within the fields of political theory social policy cultural studies and law. Beyond Multiculturalism is the first volume of its kind to offer a comparative worldwide view of multiculturalism considering both traditional multicultural/multiethnic societies and those where cultural pluralism is relatively new. Its varied case studies focus on the intersections and relationships between cultural groups in everyday life using employment identity consumption language legislation and policy making to show the unique contribution anthropologists can bring to multiculturalism studies. Their work will be of great interest to scholars of race ethnicity migration urban studies and social and cultural geography.
