Description
The Multiculturalism Backlash: European Discourses, Policies and Practices By Steven Vertovec and Susanne Wessendorf Routledge, 2010, 210 pages, paperback. In recent years, many European governments have shifted away from using the term "multicultural" in their policies. This shift has been met with criticism from politicians and public intellectuals who argue that it leads to too much diversity. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the social conditions and political questions surrounding multiculturalism, as well as the emergence of a backlash against multicultural initiatives. The authors draw on case studies from leading experts across Europe and North America to assess key questions about multiculturalism, cultural diversity, and integration. They explore how public discourses have impacted national and local policies, and whether these shifts are reflected in everyday practices within diverse communities.
