Produktbeschreibung
A critical intervention in liberal theories of multiculturalism Multiculturalism has recently been declared dead; at the same time, the value of diversity is still emphasised. How can we explain this?

He examines some of these processes and looks to what cultural coexistence beyond immunity might be like.
