Can multiculturalism promote gender equality?/Anuradha M. Chenoy. Growing cultural diversity as a result of globalization, technological changes and migration poses major challenges of management and accommodation in most multicultural and multiethnic societies. This volume presents a broad overview of the actors and factors that have played an important role in the success and/or failure of multiculturalism in contemporary India and Europe. The study critically evaluates the mutliculturalist discourse in Britain, France, Germany, and India. It provides a comparative analysis of the historical roots of plurality in both Europe and India and discusses the challenge posed by multiculturalism to existing forms of secularism. The book examines the implications and challenges of Indian migration to the European continent, the role of culture in the external relations of the European Union with special reference to India and seeks to answer the question whether multiculturalism can promote gender equality.
