Notes
1. He presently exempts Canada from such a strategy as he thinks there continues to be sufficient support for the term there. We take the view that despite Prime Minister Cameron's Munich speech the fate of multiculturalism in Britain also remains as yet undecided. Indeed, the ethic that it is commonly deemed to entail (respect for difference and ethnic cultural vitality) appears to have achieved some resolute traction in spite of some forceful assaults (Modood Citation2012), and it is arguable that the ‘defence’ of multiculturalism is more audible today than when the first critiques appeared in the post-9/11 environment. This is particularly evident in the readings of multiculturalism as either a source or outcome of hybridity, but is more contested in the multiculturalism of ‘groups’ and especially of ethno-religious groups (see Meer and Modood Citation2009).

3. Yet Wieviorka's conclusion is entirely consistent with our own, when he argues: “[M]ulticulturalism is a concept that can and must be re-enchanted, while interculturalism functions at a much less sophisticated level, and a much less political one for us to be able to assert that it can act as a substitute. At most it may be possible to envisage it as complementary” (this issue: 230).
