Multicultural Europe and Politics


Against The Grain on KPFA FM, in California is a great radio show about politics, society and ideas



Why have so many European leaders recently proclaimed the failure of multiculturalism? What should we make of their claims, and of the proliferating rhetoric of blame directed against Muslims and other immigrants of color in Europe? John Bowen distinguishes rhetoric from reality in France, Britain and beyond, and Nicole Newnham discusses her film about the human cost of US deportation policy.

Is the concept of the Afropolitan dead?  Is multiculturalism a drain on European culture and economies or is multiculturalism a product of Europe's endless quest for cheap labour and neo-colonialism? Listen and judge for yourself...
