Author Description

*After Multiculturalism* challenges multiculturalist thought by demonstrating that individualist and libertarian philosophies entail critiques of racism that follow directly from their anti-collectivist and anti-statist foundations. The “dialectics of liberty” promote elements of a vision of a social world free of racial domination. *After Multiculturalism* pursues this argument through three parts. First, it attacks the adequacy of multiculturalism as a theory and form of practice that challenges racism, and challenges the domination of political discourse on race and ethnicity by collectivist ideologies. Second, it outlines critiques of racism that have been articulated by individualist and libertarian thinkers. Third, it concludes by extending the logic of diversity in history, society and identity to achieve an individualist and libertarian expression of a vision of a postethnic, postracial society, “after multiculturalism.”
