Abstract

Comment des êtres sensés peuvent-ils croire en des choses qui n'existent pas ? En rapprochant la "fabrique de la race" ("racecraft") de la sorcellerie ("witchcraft"), les soeurs Fields montrent l'impasse où s'enferment la plupart des approches de la race, y compris celles qui la considèrent comme une "construction sociale" . Les Américains ne croient plus à la sorcellerie, mais ils croient encore à la race et ne cessent de recréer les conditions concrètes qui la rendent évidente et impossible à contester.Pilier de la littérature consacrée à ce sujet aux Etats-Unis, cet ouvrage est une leçon de méthode pour aborder une question toujours complexe.

Abstract

We are currently witnessing the global diffusion of multiculturalism, both as a political discourse and as a set of international legal norms. States today are under increasing international scrutiny regarding their treatment of ethnocultural groups, and are expected to meet evolving international standards regarding the rights of indigenous peoples, national minorities, and immigrants. This phenomenon represents a veritable revolution in international relations, yet has received little public or scholarly attention. In this book, Kymlicka examines the factors underlying this change, and the challenges it raises. Against those critics who argue that multiculturalism is a threat to universal human rights, Kymlicka shows that the sort of multiculturalism that is being globalized is inspired and constrained by the human rights revolution, and embedded in a framework of liberal-democratic values. However, the formulation and implementation of these international norms has generated a number of dilemmas. The policies adopted by international organizations to deal with ethnic diversity are driven by conflicting impulses. Pessimism about the destabilizing consequences of ethnic politics alternates with optimism about the prospects for a peaceful and democratic form of multicultural politics. The result is often an unstable mix of paralyzing fear and naïve hope, rooted in conflicting imperatives of security and justice. Moreover, given the enormous differences in the characteristics of minorities (eg., their size, territorial concentration, cultural markers, historic relationship to the state), it is difficult to formulate standards that apply to all groups. Yet attempts to formulate more targeted norms that apply only to specific categories of minorities (eg., indigenous peoples or national minorities) have proven controversial and unstable.
