MulticulturalismThis is a featured page

Multiculturalism is policies and practices that recognize ethnic diversity and treat distinct cultural groups as equal. With this respect, it breaks away from the Western European male authority figure as the main emphasis in societies. Also, it departs from the “melting pot” concept more correctly called assimilation. It grew into theory in the late 1800’s and was first accepted as policy in Canada in 1971. It still is not officially recognized in the United States. With respect to art, it requires viewers to ask questions like, “For whom was it created” and “Who is represented”.
