Their Multiculturalism and Ours
Tatchell, Peter
http://www.petertatchell.net/multiculturalism/democratiya8.htmPublisher: Democratiya Year Published: 2007 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX11821 Reactionary interpretations of multiculturalism ignore, tolerate or excuse prejudice and abuse in the name of pluralism and diversity. They foster social division, moral confusion and double-standards - often to the detriment of the most vulnerable: minorities within minority communities. Progressive multiculturalism is about respecting and celebrating difference, but within a framework of universal equality and human rights. It is premised on welcoming and embracing cultural diversity, providing it does not involve the oppression of other people. Subject Headings |
