About This Item
Multilingual Matters Ltd, Avon, UK - first edition 1984 hardcover, 8 1/2" x 6", with dust jacket AS NEW book in AS NEW unclipped dust jacket INSCRIPTION SIGNED BY AUTHOR to ffep. Black cloth-bound boards with gold type to spine. Deals with some of the principles of pluralism in a modern Western society; starts with the concept of culture, then establishes how this comes under attack, becomes modified due to external forces, and concludes that for an ethnic group to survive and maintain its culture the group may need to establish some separate structures and institutes. In another theme, the dominant ethnic culture will try to resist such separatist tendencies in order to maintain its ideology and political hegemony. These principles are illustrated by case study material drawn from the Austraian experience, with Aborigines and with migrants.
