Research Handbook on Multiculturalism

Edited by Geoffrey Brahm Levey, Associate Professor in Political Science, School of Social Sciences, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia

‘At a time when multiculturalism has been declared dead, obsolete, co-opted, or reborn under the banners of interculturalism, this Handbook stands as both a synthesis and a renewal of the field. It repositions multiculturalism not as a settled doctrine but as a living theory and self-critical project – an evolving set of democratic practices and moral principles responsive to shifting social and political terrains. Its breadth, ambition, and conceptual rigor make it one of the most substantial contributions to the literature on multiculturalism since the canonical interventions of Will Kymlicka and Bhikhu Parekh..’
