Identity, Ethnic Diversity and Community Cohesion by Margaret Wetherell
What is meant by community? Is there a balance between equality, integration and diversity? Does the idea of identity undermine community cohesion? This book debates these questions and explores the concept of identity and how its different meanings and interpretations impact upon community policy. The chapters bring together leading academics, policymakers, think-tank representatives and community workers to debate the connections between ethnic diversity, identity and community cohesion.
