Open University Press, 2000. Softcover (14 x 22 cm), 124 pages. ISBN: 0335205208. Very Good condition. Covers scuffed, scratched, soiled and lightly creased. Price sticker residue on rear cover. "Is multiculturalism compatible with national identity? Does multiculturalism simply mean a tolerance of cultural diversity? Does globalization spell the end of multiculturalism? Multicultural and multiculturalism are words frequently used to describe the ethnic diversity which exists everywhere in the world today. However, there is some confusion about what precisely they signify. Do they simply describe diversity or are they advocating a particular response to that diversity? This book looks at some of the debates associated with these words and with the concepts attached to them. In particular the arguments for and against multiculturalism are examined in the context of modern states in different political and historical circumstances. Attitudes and emphases in relation to multiculturalism differ, it is argued, from one country to another and the chapters of the book draw out the dimensions of difference with examples ranging from Europe and the USA to South-East Asia and China. The focus of the discussion is placed on issues such as minority rights, education, religious tolerance and the trend to global homogenization. Running through the description of these issues in an implicit critique of the loose way in which the word culture is used to mean an unchanging set of definitive characteristics and how that usage bedevils discussions of multiculturalism. The result is a concise and balanced overview of a topic with wide appeal across undergraduate and postgraduate courses from sociology and politics to cultural studies and anthropology.

* Does multiculturalism simply mean a tolerance of cultural diversity?
* Does globalization spell the end of multiculturalism?
Multicultural and multiculturalism are words frequently used to describe the ethnic diversity which exists everywhere in the world today. However, there is some confusion about what precisely they signify. Do they simply describe diversity or are they advocating a particular response to that diversity? This book looks at some of the debates associated with these words and with the concepts attached to them. In particular the arguments for and against multiculturalism are examined in the context of modern states in different political and historical circumstances. Attitudes and emphases in relation to multiculturalism differ, it is argued, from one country to another and the chapters of the book draw out the dimensions of difference with examples ranging from Europe and the USA to South-East Asia and China. The focus of the discussion is placed on issues such as minority rights, education, religious tolerance and the trend to global homogenization. Running through the description of these issues in an implicit critique of the loose way in which the word culture is used to mean an unchanging set of definitive characteristics and how that usage bedevils discussions of multiculturalism.

Condiciones de envío
Book(s) will be packaged and shipped within two business days from confirmation of receipt of payment. All shipping costs are in addition to the price of the book, paid by the buyer. *Please note: The shipping cost quoted on AbeBooks.com may vary from the actual shipping cost depending on final parcel size & weight, buyer location and shipping mode selected. Shipping costs are for the final weight of the parcel (book size/weight plus packaging materials).
For Australian (Domestic) Customers: Domestic orders are shipped via Australia Parcel Post. Shipping costs are based on package size/weight, destination and speed (standard or priority). The shipping charges quoted at time of sale are for standard shipping for a parcel weighing less than 3kg and less than 40 x 31 cm in size. Heavier and/or larger sized parcels may require additional postage charges. You will be notified via email if additional charges are warranted at which point you can elect to accept or reject the extra charges requested. However, parcels weighing less than 500g may be subjected to lower postage costs (reduction will occur when order is processed).
For Overseas (International) Customers: I encourage you to contact me via email using the 'Ask the Bookseller a Question' link to obtain an accurate postage quote prior to making your purchase as Australia Post shipping costs vary considerably depending on buyer's location, parcel weight and speed. Overseas orders are normally dispatched via Australia Post Standard International (which offers online tracking). The amount quoted for shipping is based on Australia Post rates for a parcel weighing between 500g-1kg (approximately 1.1-2.2 lbs) and ultimate destination. The cost increases considerably for every 500g (1.1lb) increment increase in weight. Express options are not recommended as the are very expensive and are normally not much faster than one of the other modes outlined above. Extra shipping costs may be requested for parcels exceeding 1kg. Conversely, lighter parcels may be subjected to lower postage costs based on actual size/weight and ultimate destination. Any shipping cost increase/decrease will occur when the order is processed. You will have the option to 'accept' or 'reject' any increase requested before the transaction can be finalized.
