In this book, Arjun Tremblay considers the future of multiculturalism,
contextualised within an ideological and political shift to the right.
Is there any hope that multiculturalism will survive alongside the
rise of the political right across democracies? How can policy makers
continue to recognize and to accommodate minorities in an increasingly
inhospitable ideological environment? Based on evidence from three
case studies, Tremblay develops a hypothesis of multicultural
outcomes, arguing that while the threat to multiculturalism is real,
there still is hope, and that not only is the fate of minority rights
in liberal democracies far from sealed, but it may still be possible
to further protect the rights of immigrant and other minority groups
in years to come. In order to do this, proponents of diversity
politics may need to reconceptualise multiculturalism and other
minority rights along instrumental lines as a means to fulfil policy
objectives above and beyond the recognition and accommodation of
immigrant minorities. This will be an important read for scholars
interested in minority rights, multiculturalism, diversity politics,
comparative politics, institutionalism, right-wing and far-right
studies, and public policy.
