"...the book is a brave and authoritative analysis of
multiculturalism... McGhee successfully locates his subject in the
context of recent developments in both community cohesion and human
rights and shows with great skill how differing impulses within
government and the wider community pull multiculturalism in various
different directions... With this book, McGhee manages to be both
topical and well-informed: it deserves a wide
readership."

Recent debates on national identity and the alleged failure of
multiculturalism have focused on the social disorder in Oldham,
Burnley and Bradford in the summer of 2001 and the bombings and
attempted bombings in London in July 2005. Derek McGhee assesses
how these events and the events that have occurred outside
Britain, especially the attacks on the USA on 11th September
2001, have resulted in the introduction of a number of high
profile debates in Britain with regards to immigration,
integration, citizenship, ‘race’ inequality and human rights.

McGhee examines these debates on multiculturalism and terrorism
in light of enduring questions regarding ‘Muslim integration’ and
‘Muslim loyalty’ in contemporary Britain. He also explores the
nature of a diverse range of inter-related areas of public
policy, including anti-terrorism, immigration, integration,
community cohesion, equality and human rights, critically
examining many of the Government’s key strategies in recent
years.
