This volume, entitled Negotiating Boundaries in Multicultural Societies , is divided into two main sections: "The Politics of Belonging" and "The Politics of Exclusion". Both sections serve to explore the concepts of "belonging" and "exclusion" from an empirical political perspective. Based on practical case-studies, each chapter sheds light on empirical aspects of the challenges of integration, identity and citizenship within multicultural societies. In addition to the challenges faced by particular social groups regarding their cultural and social integration that very much affects their sense of belonging and their overall perception of their own identity, institutionalized political exclusion is still condoned, if not practiced, by states worldwide. When found in a society of 'multiple identities', failed integration often results in divided culturalism and hence nations. This volume explores this predicament while referring to a number of country case-studies.
