Abstract:Multiculturalism is a concept that has been stretched to include a variety of political conditions, mainly in countries that have liberal democratic political systems and traditions. The articles in this special issue of Politikon show how varied and complex the embodiment of multiculturalism as a political practice, or policy discourse in different political contexts can be, and how often the outcome of multicultural discourses creates a binary between culture and rights. Introduction: Gender and multiculturalism - dislodging the binary between universal human rights and culture/tradition: North/South perspectives (Amanda Gouws, Daiva Stasiulis). Articles: In the name of what? Defusing the rights-culture debate by revisiting the universals of both rights and culture (Louise Du Toit); Multiculturalism in South Africa: dislodging the binary between universal human rights and culture/tradition (Amanda Gouws); Territorial pluralism and family-law reform: conflicts between gender and culture rights in federations, North and South (Jill Vickers); Beyond the limitations of the impasse: feminism, multiculturalism, and legal reforms in religious family laws in India (Gopika Solanki); Muslim women and human rights: does political transformation equal social transformation? (on North Africa, the Middle East) (Wendy Isaacs-Martin); Masculinities without tradition (Kopano Ratele); Reading the racial subtext of the Québécois accommodation controversy: an analytics of racialized governmentality (Sirma Bilge); Worrier nation: Quebec's value codes for immigrants (Daiva Stasiulis).
