Multiculturalism in the United Kingdom after the WWII (1945-2011).

Abstract

This work deals with Multiculturalism in the United Kingdom after the World War II. There are a lot of conditions that caused multiculturalism and the major one is the wave of immigration. Yet, this issue has obtained some critics concerning the life of ethnic minorities in the United Kingdom because some claimed that ethnic minorities are treated unequally. However; it is said that cultural diversity is a crucial element that enriched Great Britain as a whole .The UK government called for a united and assimilated society and it is working hard in order to erase all kinds of discrimination and racism to realize a kind of equality between „Whites‟ and „Blacks‟ and this is what the Prime Minister David Cameron called for. But on the other hand, others still have a fear of „Muslims‟ and „Islam‟ and they consider it as the first reason to the failure of multiculturalism.
