Politics Cafe: Are multiculturalism and cultural integration opposing force...

Bristol Politics Cafe seeks to raise debate and discussion in the run up to the May 2015 election, with a series of discussion evenings with local academics. In this event, Prof Tariq Modood will be asking:

"What is ‘multiculturalism’ and what is ‘integration’? Is it the case that they are two different things and that we need to choose between them? Many people have been saying over the last few years that ‘Multiculturalism is dead’. What is the evidence for this? I shall suggest that such stark generalisations and choices simplify the reality. Integration is an important goal but it may not be possible without some elements of multiculturalism."
