In 2004, Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered on a busy Amsterdam street. His killer was Mohammed Bouyeri, a twenty-six-year-old Dutch Moroccan offended by van Gogh's controversial film about Muslim suppression of women. The Dutch government had funded separate schools, housing projects, broadcast media, and community organizations for Muslim immigrants, all under the umbrella of multiculturalism. But the reality of terrorism and radicalization of Muslim immigrants has shattered that dream. In this arresting book, Paul Sniderman and Louk Hagendoorn demonstrate that there are deep conflicts of values in the Netherlands. In the eyes of the Dutch, for example, Muslims oppress women, treating them as inferior to men. In the eyes of Muslim immigrants, Western Europeans deny women the respect they deserve. Western Europe has become a cultural conflict zone. Two ways of life are colliding. Sniderman and Hagendoorn show how identity politics contributed to this crisis. The very policies meant to persuade majority and minority that they are part of the same society strengthened their view that they belong to different societies. At the deepest level, the authors' findings suggest, the issue that government and citizens need to be concerned about is not a conflict of values but a clash of fundamental loyalties.

La notion de " dignité humaine ", étroitement associée à l'idée de nature humaine, soulève de nombreuses questions philosophiques et ses usages dans le domaine de la bioéthique et du biodroit suscitent des réserves ou des critiques justifiées. II n'est pas rare qu'en dépit de son fréquent rapprochement avec l'autonomie kantienne, l'invocation de la dignité entre en conflit tant avec le respect des libertés individuelles qu'avec la reconnaissance de la diversité et du pluralisme. Prétendre y lire un fondement univoque et universel fait souvent le jeu implicite d'une tradition dans laquelle de nombreux philosophes, scientifiques et citoyens ne se reconnaissent pas. La définition de ce qui est indiscutablement contraire à la dignité humaine est un enjeu politique qui se dissimule comme tel et dont les attendus philosophiques, théologiques ou idéologiques sont rarement explicités. La " diversité "- naturelle, culturelle, technique... - est une valeur dont la reconnaissance a progressé au cours de ces dernières décennies. Bien des débats bioéthiques n'ont cessé de l'illustrer. Plutôt que de s'en désoler, il faut s'en réjouir, en veillant à ce que la diversité ne soit pas synonyme de discrimination. Les derniers chapitres soulèvent la question des limites de l'auto-diversification future de l'espèce humaine à l'aide de moyens technoscientifiques et pas seulement symboliques ou externes : des transgressions ou transcendances opératoires qui mobilisent nature et dignité humaines.

Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den soziologischen Herausforderungen der Globalisierung und ihrem Einfluss auf die Sozialwissenschaften. Dabei wird vor allem nach den Parametern des Raums und der Identität im Prozess der Globalisierung gefragt. Innerhalb eines deutschen Kontextes wird untersucht, wodurch Migrationsprozesse konstituiert sind, welche Probleme und Orientierungsunsicherheiten sie nach sich ziehen können und wie mit kultureller Differenz umgegangen wird. Es werden zudem Vorschläge zu möglichen Veränderungsprozessen in der Kulturpolitik und Kulturarbeit gemacht.

What is black culture? Does it have an essence? What do we lose and gain by assuming that it does, and by building our laws accordingly? This bold and provocative book questions the common presumption of political multiculturalism that social categories such as race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality are defined by distinctive cultural practices. Richard Ford argues against law reform proposals that would attempt to apply civil rights protections to "cultural difference." Unlike many criticisms of multiculturalism, which worry about "reverse discrimination" or the erosion of core Western cultural values, the book's argument is primarily focused on the adverse effects of multicultural rhetoric and multicultural rights on their supposed beneficiaries. In clear and compelling prose, Ford argues that multicultural accounts of cultural difference do not accurately describe the practices of social groups. Instead these accounts are prescriptive: they attempt to canonize a narrow, parochial, and contestable set of ideas about appropriate group culture and to discredit more cosmopolitan lifestyles, commitments, and values. The book argues that far from remedying discrimination and status hierarchy, "cultural rights" share the ideological presuppositions, and participate in the discursive and institutional practices, of racism, sexism, and homophobia. Ford offers specific examples in support of this thesis, in diverse contexts such as employment discrimination, affirmative action, and transracial adoption. This is a major contribution to our understanding of today's politics of race, by one of the most distinctive and important young voices in America's legal academy.
