Description

Are there any cultural universals left? Does multiculturalism inevitably involve a slide into moral relativism?

This timely and insightful book examines questions of politics and identity in the age of multicultures.

It draws together the contribution of outstanding contributors such as Fraser, Honneth, O'Neill, Bauman, Lister, Gilroy and De Swann to explore how difference and multiculturalism take on the arguments of universalist humanism.

The approach taken derives from the traditions of cultural sociology and cultural studies rather than political science and philosophy. The book takes seriously the argument that the social bond and recognition are in danger through globalization and deterritorialization.

It is a major contribution to the emerging debate on the form of post-national forms of civil society.
