multi-cultural society
multi-cultural society A society characterized by cultural pluralism—as in the cases of the United States and post-war Britain. As an ideal, multi-culturalism celebrates cultural variety (for example linguistic and religious diversity), and may be contrasted with the
assimilationist ideal assumed in many early studies of race, ethnicity, and immigration.
