    Multiculturalism refers to the phenomenon of multiple cultural groups existing within the same society. It emerged as a term in Canada in the 1980s and spread in popular usage during the 1990s. Multiculturalism recognizes that every culture is internally diverse and differentiated, and questions how to deal with cultural differences while abandoning the idea that cultures are localized or homogeneous. Nation-states and notions of cultural homogeneity are now viewed as temporary and superficial constructions.

    Culture difference

    Etymology

    Derived from adjective multicultural, from multiculture. At first often in Canadian context, picked up
    by U.S education writers in 1980s, widespread
    popular use in 1990s

    We instinctively suspect attempts to

    homogenize a culture and impose a

    single identity on it, for we are acutely aware that


    every culture is internally plural and differentiated.

    Question.
    How to deal with cultural difference while
    abandoning received ideas of (localized) culture.

    Nation-states are presented as accidental


    constructions, cultural homogeneity as temporary and
    coherent explanations as superficial and misleading.

    Post colonial theories have torn apart western

    imperialist assumptions. The

    European colonial
    empires turn out to have been cultural,
    multiethnic patchworks, just like their
    predecessors, the older Asiatic empires.
