Evidence

Gilroy contrasts ‘multiculture’ with ‘multiculturalism’. Whereas ‘multiculturalism’ describes a world of distinct cultural groups, ‘multiculture’ imagines both culture and difference as fluid and dynamic. Convivial relations, Gilroy argues, enact a ‘negative dialectic’ between the fluid logic of multiculture, and the fixed, hierarchical logic of racial difference. — Farhan Samanani, Conviviality and its others, 23
