Is the promotion of multiculturalism, together with increasing racial awareness, producing a racialist society dominated by identity politics?
Andrew Anthony, writing in today’s Guardian, seems to think so. I'm inclined to agree.
Kenan Malik has been saying much the same thing for some time.
For those interested in an anthropological take on the subject, I strongly recommend Peter Wade's recent paper on hybridity theory and kinship thinking from the Manchester Anthropology Working Papers.
