Who Counts; Who Cares? Scottish children's notions of national identity.Bruce Carrington & Geoffrey Short - 1996 - Educational Studies 22 (2):203-224.details Summary Compared to the literature on children's racial and ethnic identities, relatively little is known about their understanding of national identity. Such knowledge is necessary if schools are to challenge racism, xenophobia and ethnocentrism effectively. In this paper, we present the findings of a case?study (undertaken in a mainly?white Edinburgh primary school) of 9?11 year?olds? understanding of this complex form of collective identity.

British Muslim Perspectives on Multiculturalism.Tariq Modood & Fauzia Ahmad - 2007 - Theory, Culture and Society 24 (2):187-213.details We explore aspects of what it means to be a ‘moderate’ Muslim in Britain. Based on interviews with 21 Muslim intellectuals or those active in public or community debates, we examine what these Muslims think about multiculturalism. While there is a variety of views, the respondents are promulticulturalism as long as it includes faith as a dimension of ‘difference’, something they believe has only belatedly, tentatively and slowly happened in Britain. Most of the other aspects of the multicultural ideal and (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 3 citations
