multiculturalism

Multiculturalism Book Description

A debate about the possibility and conditions of living together has been going on in all societies since ancient times. While on the one hand, identity demands are put forward and cultural specificities are defended, on the other hand, the claim to be one and only in the name of social harmony and political power is always repeated with a loud voice...
Multiculturalism is characterized as a movement that aims to recognize these demands for autonomy. According to the understanding of multiculturalism, the coexistence of different cultures in public space is the key to a healthy social structure. For this purpose, many practices such as positive discrimination, education in the mother tongue, and freedom of dress are used. In summary, the purpose of all these regulations is to ensure that identity movements in the world and population groups with different cultural horizons can live together in peace.
In this book, Milena Doytcheva questions the problems and achievements of multiculturalism. The author tries to shed light on its political consequences in detail and based on documents, without glorifying the practice of multicultural life and without overlooking its weaknesses.
