Starting with the Islam-Christian-Jewish Mediterranean world of the early modern period, this volume moves to the empires of the 18th and 19th centuries and the African Diaspora of the Black Atlantic. It ends with questioning assumptions about citizenship and underlying homogeneous "received" cultures through the analysis of the changes in various literatures. This volume clearly shows that the life-worlds of settled as well as migrant populations in the past were characterized by cultural change and exchange whether conflictual or peaceful. Societies reflected on such change in their literatures as well as in their concepts of citizenship.MulticulturalismGroup identityCitizenshipEthnicityRacismCultural pluralismGlobalizationMulticulturalism.Group identity.Citizenship.Ethnicity.Racism.Cultural pluralism.Globalization.306Hoerder DirkHarzig ChristianeShubert Adrian1953-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798134503321The historical practice of diversity3728711UNINA
