Everyday Hate

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Everyday Multiculturalism and ‘Hidden’ Hate

Part of the book series: Palgrave Hate Studies ((PAHS))

Abstract

The previous chapter sought to demonstrate that multiculturalism is not merely an ideology or a mechanism for containing and managing ‘difference’. Rather, it is embodied by ordinary people on a daily basis through practices of encounter and exchange. By providing a brief overview of the emergence, and subsequent ‘demise’, of state multiculturalism, the aim was to illustrate that fixed, top-down conceptualisations fail to account for the interactions, the negotiations, the struggles and the contestations that make up the mosaic of cosmopolitan life. In reality, top-down state policies and practices, and everyday intercultural intermingling are intricately connected, with shifts in wider social and political structures filtering down to shape these interactions. Whilst the field exploring these ‘actually existing multiculturalisms’ (Uitermark et al. 2005) is burgeoning, academic attention has been disproportionately weighted towards investigating the opinions and experiences of adults. As the last chapter noted, young people are often overlooked, and in some contexts ignored altogether, when it comes to the topics of identity, national belonging, diversity and intercultural conflict. However, research that has actively involved young people reveals not only that they are more likely to encounter diversity and ‘difference’ in daily life, but that these everyday interactions play a significant part in moulding a young person’s sense of self and also there sense of others.
