Critical multiculturalism links culture to power and antiracism
Evidence
These four components, in combination, constitute what has come to be known as “critical multiculturalism.” Critical multiculturalism combines both structural and culturalist concerns - linking culture to power, and multiculturalism to antiracism - in its deconstruction and critique of the organization of modern nation-states. Critical multiculturalism also engages actively with postmodernist conceptions and analyses of identity, while holding onto the possibility of an emancipatory, group-based politics. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 953
