Description: "This book explores why multiculturalism has not yet succeeded and why people of different faiths and ethnicities are feared and demonized. It suggests that the focus on controlling behaviour and promoting equalities has been insufficient and has failed to tackle underlying attitudes and values. The continued segregation and separation of different communities, both in physical and social terms, has denied opportunities for the development of mutual trust and tolerance. It also suggests that we need a clearer concept of citizenship which can create a meaningful relationship between different groups and whilst this will impose more responsibilities and establish more generic values, it will allow separate cultures to be protected."--Jacket.
