British Multiculturalism and the Politics of Representation Paperback / softback
by LASSE THOMASSEN
Paperback / softback
Description
Uses poststructuralist theory to connect inclusion, exclusion and identity, using real-world case studies from British culture, politics and lawLasse Thomassen applies a fresh, poststructuralist approach to reconcile the theoretical and practical issues surrounding inclusion, exclusion and representation.
He opens up debates and themes including Britishness, race, the nature and role of Islam in British society, homelessness and social justice.
Thomassen argues that the politics of inclusion and identity should be viewed as struggles over how these identities are represented.
He develops this argument through careful analysis of cases from the last four decades of British multiculturalism, including public debates about the role of religion in British society, Gordon Brown and David Cameron’s contrasting versions of Britishness, legal cases about religious symbols and clothing in schools, and the Nick Hornby novel How to Be Good.
