Postwar multiculturalism changed form with no linear colonial connection

Evidence

These historical examples are not irrelevant to how multiculturalism has surfaced in the postwar world. They provide some of the latter’s conditions of emergence. But there is no linear connection between the colonial and the postcolonial. Since World War II, the multicultural question has not only changed its forms but become intensified. It has also become more salient, taking center stage in the field of political contestation. This is the result of a series of decisive shifts—a strategic reconfiguration of social forces and relations across the globe. — Stuart Hall, Essential Essays, Volume 2, 313

• QUESTION: Which ‘decisive shifts — a strategic reconfiguration of social forces’ does Hall specify? The rest of the chapter (post-313) presumably enumerates them.
• XREF: The ‘no linear connection between colonial and postcolonial’ point is exactly the genealogical method the Islamophobia field inherits from Foucault via Hall.
