The problem of identity
is one of the key issues in the present discourse on multiculturalism. This
volume brings together historians, cultural theorists, literary scholars and
political scientists whose common aim is to address questions of identity and
identity formation in multicultural societies, concentrating on European
historical models and current questions and perspectives. The challenging,
progressive or positive aspects relating to multiculturalism appear in a sharper
focus in this strongly interdisciplinary collection, compared to other volumes
which generally tend to concentrate on the “problematic” or limiting aspects
of this important phenomenon of contemporary European societies.
