About this Item

Bhikhu Parekh's work is widely regarded as amongst the most original and significant contributions to the political theory of multiculturalism. In this book, some of the leading theorists of multiculturalism revisit aspects of Parekh's work both to underline its continuing importance and the vitality of multiculturalist theory. Some contributors locate Parekh in the tradition of British pluralism or as inspired by Gandhi; some apply his theory to a range of controversial contemporary multicultural dilemmas and others extend it in new directions. Multiculturalism Rethought is essential reading for students and scholars of multiculturalism. And if you think multiculturalism no longer has anything to offer, this book may lead you to reconsider.
