{"pk":45353,"title":"Provisional Multiculturalism","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Distinguishing between descriptive and normative conceptions of multiculturalism, I argue that multiculturalisms emerged historically to challenge dominant presumptions of demographic, social, and cultural homogeneity. Focusing on contrasting pictures in the US and South Africa, I map the historical curtailments of heterogeneities in each. I conclude by urging multicultural commitments as provisional to the establishment of robust social heterogeneities.","language":"en","license":null,"keywords":[{"word":"multiculturalism"},{"word":"Homogeneity"},{"word":"heterogeneity"},{"word":"US"},{"word":"South Africa"}],"section":"Articles","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/81p4h6bg","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"David","middle_name":"Theo","last_name":"Goldberg","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Irvine/UCHRI","department":"None"}],"date_submitted":"2004-11-17T03:00:00-05:00","date_accepted":"2004-11-17T03:00:00-05:00","date_published":"2004-09-16T03:00:00-04:00","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/transit/article/45353/galley/34143/download/"}]}
