This blog sets out to bring together issues and concerns within the discourse of multiculturalism and social texts which i define as texts that generate public interest including news, editorial, popular literature and other popular texts in the media such as songs, advertisements, videos and movies. The coming weeks and month will present opportunities for me to draw on the discussion of multiculturalism from various parameters including ethnic studies, gender studies and cultural studies to facilitate how multiculturalism can be a useful tool to study social texts, and what these texts inform us of the state of our diverse world.

The reality of recognition politics in America: Praying for prayer spaces

Here's a piece of news which exemplifies the reality of recognition politics as experienced by religious minorities in a culturally diverse landscape such as America. Is the issue urgent? Is the issue valid? Are there avenues for these minorities to champion their rights as the free citizen of the land to have their religious sensibilities preserved in public domain? These issues continue to colour the American multicultural multireligous terrain.
