Beyond Multiculturalism offers a wide-ranging anthropological account of the experience of multiculturalism in the city. Contributors look at the intersections and relationships between cultural groups rather than taking a single ethnic group as a focus. They address multiculturalism in relation to employment, identity, consumption, education, language, legislation and policy making. The book aims to challenge the association of the distinctiveness of each culture with cultural closure, arguing that cultural boundaries do not set cultures apart: instead they are permeable, thus promoting change.
