520 "Since World War II, multiculturalism has risen steadily
to prominence, but in recent years this growing consensus
has been fractured. Multiculturalism in the British
Commonwealth examines responses to 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, and why did it come about? Covering a
range of countries as diverse as India, Nigeria, Trinidad,
Malaysia, and Singapore, Britain, Canada, Australia, and
New Zealand, this volume traces 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"--Provided by publisher.
