Multiculturalism: A Concept to be Redefined and Certainly Not Replaced by the Extremely Vague Term of Interculturalism

This paper offers a few comments on Meer and Modood’s discussion of interculturalism vs. multiculturalism. Before broaching the subject matter of their paper, I would like to raise an issue that pertains to their epistemological approach. What makes it uncomfortable for me is that it appears to be underpinned by a kind of Anglo-Saxon ethnocentrism, applying to both multiculturalism and interculturalism as developed in Meer and Modood’s text.
