Beyond Multiculturalism
Views from Anthropology
Edited by Giuliana B. Prato, University of Kent, UK

‘There are many ways of considering what it might mean to think “beyond” multiculturalism, and the value
of this volume is that it offers a diverse range of perspectives from within anthropology, sociology and other
disciplines that take this challenge seriously. The focus on “really existing” multiculturalism, not only in North
America and Europe but also in South America and Asia, is particularly welcome’
– Duncan Ivison, University of Sydney, Australia


While the anthropological field initially shied away from the debate
on multiculturalism, it has been widely discussed within the fields
of political theory, social policy, cultural studies and law. Beyond
Multiculturalism is the first volume of its kind to offer a comparative,
worldwide view of multiculturalism, considering both traditional
multicultural/multiethnic societies and those where cultural pluralism
is relatively new. Its varied case studies focus on the intersections
and relationships between cultural groups in everyday life using
employment, identity, consumption, language, legislation and policy
making to show the unique contribution anthropologists can bring
to multiculturalism studies. Their work will be of great interest to
scholars of race, ethnicity, migration, urban studies and social and
cultural geography.
