Multicultural Denizenship. - 8. Conclusion.This book is about multiculturalism, broadly defined as the recognition, respect and accommodation of cultural differences. Teo proposes a framework of multicultural denizenship that includes group-specific rights and intercultural dialogue, by problematising three issues: a) the unacknowledged misrecognition of non-citizens within the scholarship of multiculturalism; b) uncritical treatment of citizens and non-citizens as binary categories and; c) problematic parcelling of group-specific rights with citizenship rights. Drawing on the case of Singapore as an illustrative example, where temporary labour migrants are culturally stereotyped, socioeconomically disenfranchised and denied access to rights accorded only to citizens, Teo argues that understandings of multiculturalism need to be expanded and adjusted to include a fluidity of identities, spectrum of rights and shared experiences of marginalisation among citizens and non-citizens. Civic Multiculturalism in Singapore will be of interest to students and scholars of multiculturalism, critical citizenship studies, migration studies, political theory and postcolonial studies.Palgrave Politics of Identity and Citizenship SeriesCitizenship—Sociological aspectsCultureSocial sciences—PhilosophySociology of Citizenshiphttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22290Sociology of Culturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22100Social Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22140Citizenship—Sociological aspects.Culture.Social sciences—Philosophy.Sociology of Citizenship.Sociology of Culture.Social Theory.305.800956957320.561095957Teo Terri-Anneauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063715BOOK9910337729003321Civic Multiculturalism in Singapore2534119UNINA
