This comprehensive book delves into the examination of dominant discourses in multiculturalism and cultural identity across the globe
globally. It provides a critical analysis of prevailing narratives and debates surrounding multiculturalism and cultural identity, situated within the context of increasing social stratification and unequal access to quality education. The book addresses current discourses on globalization, ideologies, and the state, as well as approaches to constructing national, ethnic, and religious identities within the global culture. It explores the complex and often contradictory relationships between the state, globalization, and the formation of cultural identity. Additionally, the book explores conceptual frameworks and methodological approaches relevant to research on the state, globalization, multiculturalism, and identity politics. Drawing from a diverse range of paradigms, including critical theory and globalization, the book critically examines recent research on cultural diversity and its implications for identity politics. Recognizing the importance of a multi-perspective approach, the authors, with backgrounds spanning different countries and regions, offer a wealth of insights that contribute to a more holistic understanding of the interplay between multiculturalism and national identity. With contributions from esteemed scholars worldwide, this book serves as a valuable resource for a wide range of users, including policy-makers, academics, graduate students, education policy researchers, administrators, and practitioners.
