Rethinking Multiculturalism
by Bhikhu Parekh
Bhikhu Parekh is the leading British theorist of multiculturalism and he combines extensive public service with political philosophy. Unlike Kymlicka, he wants to go beyond liberalism, he wants to argue that we should include groups and not just because ultimately individual freedom is so important, and that somehow groups contribute to individual freedom.

The best books on Multiculturalism, recommended by Tariq Modood
Rather than an exciting concept that opens up societies to new ideas and cultures, the idea of ‘multiculturalism’ is currently out of favour, at least in popular political discourse. Yet, according to sociologist Tariq Modood, founding Director of the Bristol University Research Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship, many of the problems we face today are crying out for multicultural solutions. He recommends the best books on multiculturalism, beginning with its development as a political theory in 1980s Canada.
