Coming to Terms With Change.- The Journey to Community Cohesion.- Changing Conceptions of Multiculturalism.- Prejudice, Discrimination and the 'Fear of Difference'.- Identity, Values and Citizenship.- Developing a Programme for Community Cohesion.- Bibliography.
Summary: Ted Cantle examines the historical approach to race and diversity and suggests that equality strategies have been a limited means of addressing discrimination and community tensions. He explores the lack of success of multiculturalism and looks at the emerging practice of community cohesion. In this timely study, the author examines the historical approach to race and diversity and suggests that equality strategies have been a vital, but limited, means of addressing discrimination and community tensions. Community Cohesion, it argues, offers a new framework to break down the barriers between different communities and understand the more fundamental causes of racism and the 'fear of difference'. Concepts of multiculturalism, identity and citizenship are also reviewed and the developing practice of community cohesion is described.
