Multicultural Secularism, Equality and Faith Schools: Muslim and Non-religious Perspectives
In The New Governance of Religious Diversity , Tariq Modood and Thomas Sealy endorse the expansion of state funded faith schools as a way to better recognise, accommodate and include religious minorities. Drawing on the case of Britain, this commentary argues that faith schools’ far-reaching exemptions from equality law in fact exacerbate Islamophobia and can hardly be reconciled with the authors’ egalitarian commitments. An alternative approach …
Thinking with and beyond the Bristol school of multiculturalism
Since its emergence in the late 1990s, the Bristol School of Multiculturalism (BSM) has developed a complex, coherent and influential set of conceptual tools to critically and comparatively apprehend the politics of cultural and religious diversity. Animated by commitments to deep diversity, national belonging and equal citizenship, as well as to ‘contextual’ forms of moral reasoning, its founding figures have made significant interventions in a …
A typology of Roma misrepresentation in contemporary Europe: Marginalization, denizenship, suppression and co-option
Building on David Theo Goldberg’s account of the racial state and empirical research on Roma people in Europe, this article delineates various ways in which racism can undermine political representation. To that end it deploys Nancy Fraser’s concepts of “ordinary-political misrepresentation” and “misframing”; the all-affected/subjected principle used to identify those entitled to influence political decisions; and Hannah Pitkin’s four-dimensional…
The Longitudinal Relationship Between Youth Intergroup Contact and Social Cohesion Outcomes in Two Divided Societies
Intergroup contact has long been established as a prejudice‐reduction tool in divided societies, with contact being particularly effective during adolescence. A large proportion of evidence, however, draws on cross‐sectional surveys or analytical approaches that do not distinguish between‐ and within‐person effects. In the present research, we address this by exploring the potential of intergroup contact longitudinally on social cohesion–related …
Difference and diversity: Combining multiculturalist and interculturalist approaches to integration
Multiculturalism (MC) and interculturalism (IC) as approaches to governing ethnic diversity have developed an often antagonistic relationship, borne out through scholarly as well as political debates. Yet, increasingly, scholars have begun to note that while IC-consistent policies have gained some prominence, they have done so alongside MC policies. This suggests the possibility of complementarity between the two, and prominent scholars on both s…
Understanding the spatial dimension of youth intergroup contact in a postaccord society
Understanding how to promote better social relations between groups in divided societies is vital for peacebuilding efforts. Building on the substantial body of research on intergroup contact theory and everyday multiculturalism, the present research aimed to examine how youth in the divided society of Belfast, Northern Ireland, experience social interactions in everyday urban spaces. Ten youth aged 16–18 ( n = 2 Protestant females, one Protestan…
The Longitudinal Effects of Intergroup Contact on Youth Attitudes Towards Ethnic Minorities and Constructive Societal Engagement
Growing empirical evidence demonstrates that intergroup contact has the potential to reap effects that go beyond prejudice reduction. Much of this evidence, however, is based on findings from cross‐sectional surveys. Building on the relatively smaller body of longitudinal intergroup contact research, we conduct a three‐time point survey amongst youth in Northern Ireland to determine whether frequent and good‐quality interactions with ethnic minor…
The relation between multiculturalism, interculturalism and cosmopolitanism in UK diversity politics
This article assesses whether multiculturalism, interculturalism and cosmopolitanism find themselves in tension or, rather, coexist in UK politics. This is done through the analysis of recent policy and civil society documents, complemented with semi-structured interviews with race equality organizations. Results suggest a complementary relationship between these normative perspectives, with interculturalism and multiculturalism jointly shaping t…
La Spina, Encarnación. 2020. La vulnerabilidad de las personas refugiadas ante el reto de la integración. Cizur Menor: Aranzadi Thomson Reuters. 251 p
Drawing on European and comparative jurisprudence and reports, this book review synthesises minimal legal standards and discretionary policies aiming to mitigate vulnerability and promote integration among asylum seekers, refugees and beneficiaries of international protection. It also highlights some of the gaps and inconsistencies that remain to be resolved for the Common European Asylum System to adequately protect the human rights of persons s…
Migrant worker policies and national privilege: A UK case study
After a long period of decline in the Global North, migrant worker policies are making a comeback on the agenda of the European Union and several of its member states. Inspired by Iris Marion Young and Nancy Fraser’s accounts of structural injustice, this article argues that such policies cannot be reconciled with the principle of equality between migrant and national workers enshrined in international legal instruments such as the Convention on …
Religious governance and the politics of equality in education
This article seeks to unpack UK equality politics in the educational sphere and explore how it relates to four ideologies of religious governance: secularism, multiculturalism, interculturalism and intersectionalism. More specifically it examines how these ideologies support principles of reproduction, understood as knowledge transmission, and recognition, understood as respect for difference. Findings suggest that principles of religious reprodu…
Perpetuating Anti-Muslim Discrimination through the Interpretation of Religious Equality in the European Court of Human Rights
Faced with widespread prejudice and discrimination, European Muslims are increasingly resorting to the European Court of Human Rights as a last-ditch strategy to transform state policies toward minority faiths. While the Court has a mandate to protect religious freedom and equality, the conservative and sometimes biased way in which it has interpreted these concepts has enabled the persistence of stark asymmetries in the legal and social statuses…
The inclusion of non-Western artistic traditions in cultural policy: Contrasting social justice and public diplomacy approaches
On both sides of the Atlantic, the dissemination of non-Western artistic traditions among the general public has been hampered by the prevalence of Eurocentric aesthetic standards in cultural institutions and organizations. In recent years, however, some states have taken steps in order to increase the exposure of immigrant-origin artists in a variety of disciplines, including theatre, music, dance, literature, cinema and visual arts. This articl…
Human Rights and Substantive Equality in the Adjudication of Ethnic Practices
With the development of human rights and anti-discrimination law, courts have increasingly been called upon to protect ethnicity-related practices from general criminal and civil sanctions. These ‘claims of culture’ have so far been addressed with remarkable inconsistency, leading to popular fears of unlimited normative pluralism and targeted legislative measures. Compounding such controversies, philosophical approaches to multiculturalism have m…
