Multicultural Diversity in Perspective Views on Pluralism
Abstract
In this chapter, the authors analyse the multiculturalism as the inclusion of cultural, raced, and ethnic difference, especially within dominant political structures and differentiate between moderate and strong multiculturalism. As globalisation increases the frequency of intercultural contact, appreciation of multicultural diversity is inevitable. The chapter presents pluralism as the theoretical lens through which to analyse multicultural diversity, and discusses its history, conceptualisation, and use cases. The chapter makes clear that multiculturalism enlarges the possibilities of creativity, unity, and economic development, but simultaneously appears as an integration counterpart and as a matter of identity politics. Pluralism is the ability to live together without pressure to integrate into the dominant group and culture, in the effort to maintain social and economic differences. The analysis also goes ahead and shows that both multiculturalism and pluralism are called to create more diverse societies that embrace difference within citizens.
