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. 606 $aMulticulturalism 606 $aGroup identity 606 $aCitizenship 606 $aEthnicity 606 $aRacism 606 $aCultural pluralism 606 $aGlobalization 615 0$aMulticulturalism. 615 0$aGroup identity. 615 0$aCitizenship. 615 0$aEthnicity. 615 0$aRacism. 615 0$aCultural pluralism. 615 0$aGlobalization. 676 $a306 702 $aHoerder$b Dirk 702 $aHarzig$b Christiane 702 $aShubert$b Adrian$f1953- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798134503321 996 $aThe historical practice of diversity$93728711 997 $aUNINA
