Bhikhu Parekh has long faced one of the main challenges of political life across the world today. His view of what living in a multicultural society requires of us all now sets the terms for any serious response. This book shows how much and how little other political theorists have so far learnt from him.

‘Multiculturalism’ has gathered multiple meanings and thereby much misunderstanding and contention. Unusually, as both political theorist and engaged public intellectual, Bhikhu Parekh did much to clarify the issues and defend and promote progressive policies. These excellent essays, all by distinguished political theorists, assess his contributions and carry the debate further.
