Description
Tariq Modood's Multiculturalism is a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most pressing issues of our time. In this updated second edition, Modood argues that multiculturalism remains a vital force in shaping our politics and societies, despite claims to its demise. Modood contends that the rise of Islamic terrorism has not discredited multiculturalism, but rather highlighted the need for greater inclusion of Muslims in democratic citizenship. He reassesses the relationship between multiculturalism, cosmopolitanism and assimilation, demonstrating that multiculturalism is crucial for successful integration. This timely book will appeal to students, researchers and teachers of politics, sociology and public policy, as well as anyone interested in the prospects of multiculturalism today. With two new chapters added to the original argument, Modood provides a distinctive contribution to debates on multiculturalism, cosmopolitanism and social cohesion.
