Description
Culture in the Plural by Michel de Certeau A prescient critique of identity politics and multiculturalism, this long-awaited translation anticipates current debates surrounding social diversity. De Certeau examines culture from several perspectives, challenging an exclusivist notion of culture as "the best that has been thought and said". He argues that understanding contemporary societies in the West requires grasping the existing diversity that outflanks elitist conceptions of the "national group". This book sheds new light on the challenges facing societies in transition, resonating with today's "culture wars".
