Debating Cultural Hybridity: Multicultural Identities and the Politics of Anti-Racism - New Edition de Pnina Werbner

Debating Cultural Hybridity: Multicultural Identities and the Politics of Anti-Racism - New Edition: Critique. Influence. Change

Editat de Pnina Werbner, Tariq Modood Cuvânt înainte de Homi K. Bhabha
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2015
In this era where nearly everyone at least pays lip service to the importance of multiculturalism, why is it still so difficult to negotiate differences across cultures? Why does racism still persist—and how does it strike at the foundations of multiculturalism?

Bringing together some of the world’s most influential postcolonial theorists, Debating Cultural Hybridity examines the place and meaning of cultural hybridity in our ever-more-connected, yet crisis-ridden and xenophobic world. Taking as its starting point the fact that personal identities are themselves multicultural, the contributors illuminate the complexity and flexibility of culture and identity, defining their potential openness as well as their closures, to show why anti-racism and multiculturalism remain so difficult to fight for, even today.

Recenzii

“It is marvelous to see this early collection of classic insightful articles on hybridity published again, with new introductions.”

“An indispensable classic text for anyone interested in a complex and nuanced analysis of questions of culture, identity, and hybridity.”

“In the globalized world of the twenty-first century, cultural mixing and ethnic cross-fertilization is a commonplace experience. Debating Cultural Hybridity offers a superb set of essays to understand the complexity of this experience and its political and social implications.”

“The reissue of these seminal essays reminds us that the turn to hybridity was never an invitation to celebration, but rather a challenge to think about the necessary conditions for an emancipatory politics. Given the civilizational hierarchy and liberal homogeneity that has informed the racisms of the 'war on terror' era, their exploration of the complex task of building anti-racist alliances remains vital.”
