Multiculturalism in the UK – a contested discourse

Ch 2 Farrar Multiculturalism – contested final & Bib

In this chapter I join with those who say – despite its flaws – that we need more multiculturalism in the UK, not less.  I refer briefly to ‘interculturalism’, embraced by some as an improvement on multiculturalism.  I argue instead for a new discourse of ‘critical multiculturalism’.  This would include advocacy of social and economic equality, as well as – perhaps a precondition of – ‘racial’ equality.
