Chris Allen: The death of multiculturalism: blaming and shaming British Muslims
The paper questions the sometimes tenuous relationship between ‘multiculturalism’ and notions of ‘Britishness’ as well as their effect and resonance contemporarily on perceptions and attitudes shown towards Muslims.
Mark Jamieson: Language and the Process of Socialisation Amongst Bilingual Children in a Nicaraguan Village
