Le multiculturalisme est aujourd’hui confronté à des défis comme jamais auparavant, en raison de la montée simultanée du populisme et des groupes suprémacistes blancs, et des mouvements sociaux contemporains qui se mobilisent autour d’idées alternatives de décolonisation, d’antiracisme et d’autodétermination nationale.
Dans ce nouveau livre Assessing Multiculturalism in Global Comparative Perspective, un groupe de chercheurs a été rassemblé pour proposer une série d’essais permettant d’évaluer le multiculturalisme à partir d’une perspective comparative internationale.
Les auteurs couvrent les Amériques, l’Europe, l’Océanie, l’Afrique et l’Asie, tout en portant une attention spéciale à la citoyenneté, la religion, la sécurité, le genre, le mouvement Black Lives Matter et l’ordre post-pandémique. Assessing Multiculturalism in Global Comparative Perspective propose une étude de grande envergure, tout en offrant une lecture indispensable pour les chercheurs et les étudiants de la diversité au XXIe siècle.

“What is multiculturalism? How is it different from ideologies and movements that resemble it but are nevertheless quite different? What are its origins and patterns of development in different countries? Why has it provoked hostility in some societies and been received with great relief in others? Has it exhausted its constructive potential and become irrelevant, or does it have a future, and of what kind? While much has been written on multiculturalism, some of the questions listed above and others associated with them have received relatively little attention. This well-constructed and skilfully edited collection of fine essays, each probing a particular aspect of multiculturalism, fills the gap and deserves a warm welcome.”
Bhikhu Parekh, House of Lords
“Assessing Multiculturalism in Global Comparative Perspective grounds multiculturalism in history and theory, while exploring its contemporary relevance in light of challenges from the ethnonationalist right and its strained relationship with progressive emancipatory movements. The book’s outstanding contributors offer a uniquely global perspective on some of the most pressing problems confronting diverse polities the world over. Highly recommended for all students of contemporary membership politics.”
Triadafilos Triadafilopoulos, Associate Professor, University of Toronto
“This visionary collection provides a timely global comparative diagnostic on multiculturalism’s challenges and possible futures in the post-pandemic era. The diverse set of co-editors proposes a useful framework of analysis in their introduction, highlighting the origins, expansion and critiques of multiculturalism. They brought together a particularly talented group of experts whose analyses will inform both scholars and the general public interested in the future of recognition and diversity in a range of societies. Together, they deploy enlightening perspectives that illuminate our worlds as they evolve. What a feat!!!”
