In the first study of its kind, Fortier considers the anxieties, desires, and issues that form representations of 'multicultural Britain' available in the British public domain. She investigates:
the significance of gender, sex, generations and kinship, as well as race and ethnicity, in debates about cultural difference
the consolidation of religion as a marker of absolute difference
'moral racism', the criteria for good citizenship and the limits of civility.
This book presents a unique analysis of multiculturalism that draws on insights from critical race studies, feminist and queer studies, postcolonialism and psychoanalysis.
