Multiculturalism as a distinct form of liberal-democratic governance gained widespread acceptance after World War II, but in recent years this consensus has been fractured. Multiculturalism in the British Commonwealth examines 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? Why did it come about? How have social actors responded to it? In addition to chapters on Australia, Britain, Canada, and New Zealand, this volume also covers India, Malaysia, Nigeria, Singapore, and Trinidad, tracing 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. 606 $aMulticulturalism$zCommonwealth countries$y20th century 610 $aconstitutionalism. 610 $acultural diversity. 610 $adecolonization. 610 $aglobalization. 610 $agroup politics. 610 $aimmigration. 610 $aincreased demographic diversity. 610 $aindigenous peoples. 610 $alegal strategies. 610 $aliberal democratic citizenship. 610 $aliberal democratic governance. 610 $amulticulturalism. 610 $anation state building. 610 $anational minorities. 610 $anationalism. 610 $apolitical economy. 610 $apolitical strategies. 610 $apolitical theory. 610 $apractice. 610 $apublic debates. 610 $aremaking of the world. 610 $asecularism. 610 $asocial diversity. 610 $asocial theory. 610 $atheory. 615 0$aMulticulturalism 676 $a305.800971241/0905 702 $aAshcroft$b Richard T., $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBevir$b Mark, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910332652003321 996 $aMulticulturalism in the British Commonwealth$92080328 997 $aUNINA
