In this book, Arjun Tremblay considers the future of multiculturalism, contextualised
within an ideological and political shift to the right. Is there any hope that multiculturalism
will survive alongside the rise of the political right across democracies? How can
policy makers continue to recognize and to accommodate minorities in an increasingly
inhospitable ideological environment? Based on evidence from three cases studies,
Tremblay develops a hypothesis of multicultural outcomes, arguing that while the threat
to multiculturalism is real, there still is hope, and that not only is the fate of
minority rights in liberal democracies far from sealed, but it may still be possible
to further protect the rights of immigrant and other minority groups in years to come.
In order to do this, proponents of diversity politics may need to reconceptualise
multiculturalism and other minority rights along instrumental lines as a means to
fulfil policy objectives above and beyond the recognition and accommodation of immigrant
minorities. This will be an important read for scholars interested in minority rights,
multiculturalism, diversity politics, comparative politics, institutionalism, right-wing
and far-right studies, and public policy
