Multiculturalism in a Global Society cover

Multiculturalism in Global Society explores the concepts and debates surrounding the complex modern phenomenon of multiculturalism, and its varied effects on the advanced industrial nations of the world. With remarkable clarity and concision, it focuses on the interrelated ties of ethnicity, race, and nationalism in a world where globalizing processes have made such ties increasingly important in economic, political, and cultural terms. Students and scholars looking for the most up-to-date approach to understanding multiculturalism in a global perspective will find this to be an engaging, penetrating, and illuminating text.

“Peter Kivisto has produced a characteristically insightful and incisive theoretical analysis of multiculturalism today. Genuinely comparative, this is cutting-edge work of high quality.” Martin Bulmer, Editor, Ethnic and Racial Studies

"Kivisto provides a concise and useful theoretical discussion of ethnic theories." E. Hu-DeHart, Brown University
