Tackles the challenge of dismantling the multicultural model without destroying diversity in European society. Have European publics have become hostile to multiculturalism? Can the rise in electoral support for self-styled anti-immigrant parties be explained as support also for their anti-multicultural policies? Are right-wing extremists becoming the storm troopers of the struggle against diversity? In recent years, most mainstream political leaders in Europe have discarded the term 'multiculturalism' and instead express scepticism, criticism and even hostility towards multicultural ways of organizing their societies. Yet they are unprepared to reverse the diversity existing in their states. These contradictory choices have different political consequences in the 10 European countries examined in this book. The future of European liberalism is being played out as multicultural notions of belonging, inclusion, tolerance, and the national home are brought into question.
