Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This book interrogates the politics and practices of multiculturalism and multicultural education in contexts where liberal and critical multiculturalism is under pressure. It examines perspectives on multiculturalism and political and social diversity in societies in Asia and Europe. It is set against a background of increasing right wing radicalism and pervasive authoritarianism in different parts of the world. These ideologies not only undermine multiculturalism but the potential of democracy itself. The book includes chapters from leading scholars on multiculturalism, interculturalism, and diversity from around the world. It examines the challenges to multicultural diversity in the Global North, and makes a distinctive contribution by addressing this issue in the Global South societies of Asia, including Myanmar and Pakistan. As such, this book opens up international debate about multiculturalism by providing exchanges rarely heard across borders.
