| Multiculturalism | Kukathas | Gaus I 250 Multiculturalism/Kukathas: How can the many live as one? That is an old question in political theory, and the theorists of nationalism and multiculturalism have, in different ways, tried to offer an answer. Multiculturalism: Although nationalism is an old concept which has been much discussed in the past century (Kedourie, 1967(1); Minogue, 1967(2)), multiculturalism did not appear until the 1960s and 1970s, when it was used to describe a new public policy, first in Canada and then in Australia. In both of these cases, this development marked an explicit movement by federal Gaus I 251 governments away from policies of assimilation of ethnic minorities, and immigrants in particular, toward policies of acceptance and integration of diverse cultures (Lopez, 2000(3): 2—3). The term did not enter the American (or British) lexicon until the 1980s (Glazer, 1997(4): 8). When it did enter American debates, however, it did so in the first instance, in discussions about public education. 'Multiculturalism,' according to Nathan Glazer, 'is just the latest in [a] sequence of terms describing how American society, particularly American education, should respond to diversity' (1997(4): 8). VsAssimilation: Multiculturalism, then, is a term that describes one particular way of responding to ethnic diversity. 'It is a position that rejects assimilation and the "melting pot" image as an imposition of the dominant culture, and instead prefers such metaphors as the "salad bowl" or the "glorious mosaic", in which each ethnic and racial element in the population maintains its distinctiveness' (1997(4): 10). >Diversity/Multiculturalism. 1.
