Download or read book Theories of Multiculturalism written by George Crowder and published by Polity. This book was released on 2013-11-04 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiculturalism is one of the most controversial ideas in contemporary politics. In this new book George Crowder examines some of the leading responses to multiculturalism, both supportive and critical, found in the work of recent political theorists. The book provides a clear and accessible introduction to a diverse array of thinkers who have engaged with multiculturalism. These include Will Kymlicka, whose account of cultural rights is seminal, liberal critics of multiculturalism such as Brian Barry and Susan Okin, and multiculturalist critics of liberalism including Charles Taylor, Iris Marion Young, James Tully, and Bhikhu Parekh. In addition the discussion covers a wide range of other perspectives on multiculturalism - libertarian, feminist, democratic, nationalist, cosmopolitan - and rival accounts of Islamic and Confucian political culture. While offering a balanced assessment of these theories, Crowder also argues the case for a distinctive liberal-pluralist approach to multiculturalism, combining a liberal framework that emphasises the importance of personal autonomy with the value pluralism of thinkers such as Isaiah Berlin. This clear and comprehensive account will be an indispensable textbook for students in politics, sociology and political and social theory.
Download or read book Multiculturalism written by and published by Syed Ali Raza. This book was released on 2011 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has multiculturalism failed? Is it time to move on? What is the alternative? Ali Rattansi explores the issues, from national identity and social cohesion to cultural fragmentation and 'political correctness'. Providing a balanced assessment of the truth and falsity of the charges against multiculturalism, he explores new ideas for the future. Multiculturalism appears to be in terminal crisis. It has been blamed for undermining national identity, diluting social cohesion, creating ethnic ghettos and cultural fragmentation, providing fertile ground for Islamic radicalism, encouraging perverse 'political correctness', and restricting liberal freedoms of expression, amongst other things. The public debate over multiculturalism has polarised opinion amongst the general public, policy makers, and politicians. But how much real evidence, beyond tabloid headlines and anecdotes, exists for these claims? In this Very Short Introduction, Ali Rattansi considers the actual evidence from social science research to provide a balanced assessment of the truth and falsity of the charges against multiculturalism. Dispelling many myths in the process, he also warns about the dangers that lurk in an uncritical endorsement of multiculturalism, and concludes by arguing that it is time to move on to a form of 'interculturalism'.

Book excerpt: At publication date, a free ebook version of this title will be available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Multiculturalism as a distinct form of liberal-democratic governance gained widespread acceptance after World War II, but in recent years this consensus has been fractured. Multiculturalism in the British Commonwealth examines cultural diversity across the postwar Commonwealth, situating modern multiculturalism in its national, international, and historical contexts. Bringing together practitioners from across the humanities and social sciences to explore the legal, political, and philosophical issues involved, these essays address common questions: What is postwar multiculturalism? Why did it come about? How have social actors responded to it? In addition to chapters on Australia, Britain, Canada, and New Zealand, this volume also covers India, Malaysia, Nigeria, Singapore, and Trinidad, tracing the historical roots of contemporary dilemmas back to the intertwined legacies of imperialism and liberalism. In so doing it demonstrates that multiculturalism has implications that stretch far beyond its current formulations in public and academic discourse.

Download or read book Media and Cultural Regulation written by Kenneth Thompson and published by SAGE Publications Limited. This book was released on 1997-09-29 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The book covers a range of key debates about the politics and regulation of culture in general, and of the media as a key site of contemporary cultural practice. A range of theoretical issues are explored in questions of the public sphere and the politics of leisure. Three key arenas of contested regulation, posing very different issues of the formation and regulation of culture and media are discussed: sexuality, globalization and multiculturalism. Sexuality poses issues of control of representations, and of pornography and censorship. Globalization raises questions of national identity and cultural imperialism. Multiculturalism challenges existing models of cultural identity and citizenship. Through these three central cases, major contests around the public defining of culture, identity and difference are clarified."--Book jacket.

Download or read book La Mondialisation culturelle written by Gérard Leclerc and published by FeniXX. This book was released on 1999-12-31T23:00:00+01:00 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans les médias, comme dans l'opinion publique, le terme de mondialisation est devenu d'usage courant. C'est dire qu'il fonctionne à la fois comme une évidence indiscutable, et comme une matière inépuisable de débats et de controverses. Mais son sens en est circonscrit, le plus souvent, à la sphère économique entendue stricto sensu (le marché capitaliste mondial). Dans cet ouvrage, l'accent est mis sur la dimension culturelle du phénomène. La mondialisation n'est-elle pas aussi – et peut-être surtout – une mise en contact rapproché de sociétés aux valeurs différentes, hétérogènes, éventuellement conflictuelles ? Faut-il, dans la rencontre désormais intime de l'Orient et de l'Occident, de l'islam et du Christianisme, de l'Amérique et de la Chine, du Japon et de l'Europe, voir l'aube d'une ère nouvelle ? Et, si oui, cette ère sera-t-elle porteuse d'un choc des civilisations meurtrier ? Ou bien, la confrontation pacifique marquera-t-elle les débuts d'une humanité enfin pleinement consciente d'elle-même, la vraie naissance du genre humain, que les philosophes ont défini autrefois comme une espèce animale douée de rationalité et de sociabilité ?
Download or read book Les cultures de l humanit written by Michel Malherbe and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pourquoi se bat-on au Soudan ? Quelles sont les forces qui agitent l'Indonésie ? Quelles menaces pèsent sur les pays industrialisés ? Y a-t-il une unité du monde arabe ? Que s'est-il passé en Abkhazie ? Le développement est-il l'avenir de tous les peuples et quel type de développement peut-on espérer ? Pour répondre aux mille questions que l'actualité nous pose quotidiennement, Les Cultures de l'humanité offre un répertoire unique en son genre de données historiques, sociologiques et géopolitiques sur plus de cent cinquante pays à travers le monde. Fort d'une longue expérience de terrain, Michel Malherbe montre que tous ces facteurs, constituant la " culture " d'un pays, influencent et conditionnent son développement. Au-delà de l'économie, le développement doit satisfaire d'autres besoins, de nature culturelle : respect des individus et de la personnalité des peuples, épanouissement des aspirations spirituelles, lutte contre toutes les formes d'exclusion, etc. C'est donc en reconnaissant la diversité des situations et des réalités ethniques, linguistiques et religieuses que doivent être cherchées de nouvelles voies, à l'encontre des " modèles " abstraits qui ont conduit ces dernières décennies tant de pays à des échecs douloureux. Vaste état des lieux et véritable outil d'exploration de cette diversité, Les Cultures de l'humanité a pour ambition de faciliter la réflexion sur des solutions véritablement adaptées. Le livre présente en outre : La situation géopolitique de 50 pays, l'état des lieux linguistique et religieux de 150 pays.
Download or read book Cultural Diversity in Russian Cities written by Cordula Gdaniec and published by . This book was released on 2012-05-15 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural diversity - the multitude of different lifestyles that are not necessarily based on ethnic culture - is a catchphrase increasingly used in place of multiculturalism and in conjunction with globalization. Even though it is often used as a slogan it does capture a widespread phenomenon that cities must contend with in dealing with their increasingly diverse populations. The contributors examine how Russian cities are responding and through case studies from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, and Sochi explore the ways in which different cultures are inscribed into urban spaces, when and where they are present in public space, and where and how they carve out their private spaces. Through its unique exploration of the Russian example, this volume addresses the implications of the fragmented urban landscape on cultural practices and discourses, ethnicity, lifestyles and subcultures, and economic practices, and in doing so provides important insights applicable to a global context.

Download or read book Echoes of Empire written by Kalypso Nicolaïdis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-12-23 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does our colonial past echo through today's global politics? How have former empire-builders sought vindication or atonement, and formerly colonized states reversal or retribution? This groundbreaking book presents a panoramic view of attitudes to empires past and present, seen not only through the hard politics of international power structures but also through the nuances of memory, historiography and national and minority cultural identities. Bringing together leading historians, poitical scientists and international relations scholars from across the globe, Echoes of Empire emphasizes Europe's colonial legacy whilst also highlighting the importance of non-European power centres- Ottoman, Russian, Chinese, Japanese- in shaping world politics, then and now. Echoes of Empire bridges the divide between disciplines to trace the global routes travelled by objects, ideas and people and forms a radically different notion of the term 'empire' itself. This will be an essential companion to courses on international relations and imperial history as well as a fascinating read for anyone interested in Western hegemony, North-South relations, global power shifts and the longue duree.
