I have contributed a chapter, 'Minorities, Multiculturalism and the Metropolitan Experience', to a new book out this week called The Future of Community. The collection of 14 essays, including contributions from Andrew Calcutt, Stuart Waiton and Dave Clements (amongst others) examines governmental policies that aim to create 'a sense of community'. The Pluto published book shows that the notion of community is actually under threat from the very thing intended to nurture it: relentless government intervention. Instead, The Future of Community argues that creating the conditions for communities to truly flourish requires creating a space free from official intervention.
The Future of Community can be purchased from Amazon here. There is also a website accompanying the book at www.futureofcommunity.org.uk
