Multiculturalisms: Different Meanings and Perspectives of Multiculturalism in a Global World

by Barbara Pozzo

Is globalization bad for multiculturalism? Or - on the contrary - does it enhance it? Is there such a thing as a universal concept of diversity? Or is it a culture-bound, historical notion, susceptible of change? How did legal systems and international organizations react to the new diversities that emerged in last decade following migration from Asia and Africa to the West? What are the new challenges facing an enlarged Europe? Is there any lesson that can be learned from the U.S. Multicultural paradigm? What are the new frontiers of multiculturalism? This book gathers contributions on present and relevant issues, written by scholars coming from different backgrounds, in the attempt to give the reader new and wider perspectives on multiculturalism in a global world.
