Approaches to an understanding of the construction of minority identities -- Secularism and the accommodation of Muslims / Tariq Modood andRiva Kastoryano -- The construction of what? / Michel Wieviorka -- Debating cultural difference in France / Catherine Wihtol de Wenden -- TheFrench Republic unveiled / Max Silverman -- Experiencing the construction of minority identities -- Shifting sociocultural identities : youngpeople of North African origin in France / Nadia Kiwan -- Converging at last? : France, Britain and their minorities / Vincent Latour -- Veiled interventions in pure space : honour, shame and embodied struggles among Muslims in Britain and France / Pnina Werbner -- The construction of identity, integration and participation of Carribbeans in British society / Harry Goulbourne.

Britain and France have divergent attitdues to the issue of minorityidentities. Whilst the British emphasise multiculturalism, allowing that it is possible to combine race or faith with a British identity, theFrench view such a combination of religion and nationality as unacceptable. However,recent events have challenged these traditional approaches to minorities. The London bombings of July 2005, and the fact that the perpetrators were British, threw into question the assumption that theelevation of difference could lead to community cohesion, whilst riots in Birmingham in October 2005between black and Asian communities further highlighted tensions. Similarly, French certainties about their pro-active attitude to the integration of minorities into a national community, unified bycommon values, were profoundly shaken by rioting in urban areas. In this exceptionally timely collection, leading commentators from France and Britain compare how two European countries, with very distinct national traditions are facing up to the challenges of multiculturalism and issues of identity.Exploring the assumptions underlying minority policies and the constructions of identity, this volume explores how and why they need to be revised.
