最近,许多人都在讨论多元文化主义在西方民主国家的式微。尽管人们对多元文化主义退却之后出现的状态有不同意见,但也有某种广泛的共识,即我们的确生活在一个后多元文化主义的时代。在本文中,作者将探讨和批判这种有关多元文化兴衰的叙事,并提出一个新的框架来思考我们所面对的抉择。无论是多元文化主义的兴起还是它的衰落,都是一个很曲折的过程,其兴衰取决于问题的本质和相关国家的国情。如果我们想为包容多样性确定一个更具可持续性的模式,我们就需要理解这些变化。特别是,本文作者认为这个主叙事混淆了过去40年已经实行的多元文化主义试验的本质特征,夸大了多元文化试验被人们摈弃的程度,误解了多元文化试验所遇到的真正困难和局限。
Recently, many people are discussing the decline of multiculturalism in Western democracies. Although there are divergent views on the conditions that have followed since the retreat of multiculturalism, there is also a broad consensus that we do live in an era of post-multiculturalism. In this article, the author will explore and critique this narrative about the rise and fall of multiculturalism and come up with a new framework to reflect on the choices we face. Whether the rise of multiculturalism or its decline is a very tortuous process, the rise and fall depends on the nature of the problem and the national conditions of the countries concerned. If we want to identify a more sustainable model for inclusive diversity, we need to understand these changes. In particular, the authors consider this main story to confuse the essential features of the multiculturalist experiments that have been practiced for the past 40 years, exaggerate the extent to which multicultural experiments have been rejected and misunderstood the real difficulties and limitations encountered in multicultural experiments.
