Multicultural Britain:
From Anti-Racism to Identity Politics to …?
14 - 15 June 2006
Roehampton University, Southlands College, London, UK
A two-day conference organised by Centre for Research on Nationalism,
Ethnicity and Multiculturalism (CRONEM)
University of Surrey / Roehampton University
The current debate about multiculturalism in the aftermath of '7/7'
needs to be set in its historical context. A key aspect of this history
is the move from anti-racist debates and policies towards an emphasis on
identity politics and 'faith communities'. Some have encouraged this
development and seek to defend it in a more general defence of
multiculturalism. Others doubt its capacity to provide long term
solutions, especially when 'faith communities' are seen as the main
vehicle of identity politics. We want to focus not only on Britain, but
also on similar developments across Europe generally, and other parts of
the globe.
The aim of this conference is to debate this history and seek new
avenues by bringing together different generations from inside and
outside universities so that we can learn from each other's experience
and views.
