Full description for The Politics of Multiculturalism in the New Europe

  • In a post-communist, post-national era, multiculturalism has been theorized as a paternalistic, top-down solution to the "problem" of minorities, a dangerous reification of "culture", or a new way forward to a politics of "recognition" and "authenticity". But is multiculturism simply a novel project of social engineering, devised for the 21st century by well-meaning liberals or communitarians? This book rejects this view by demonstrating that multiculturalism is the political outcome of ongoing power struggles and collective negotiations of cultural, ethnic and racial differences.
