Summary/Abstract: John Rex discusses the challenges of multiculturalism in both Western and Eastern Europe, focusing on the complexities of integrating ethnic minorities, particularly in Britain and post-Communist countries. He examines the tension between promoting cultural diversity while ensuring equality of opportunity, as outlined in the Jenkins formula, and the difficulties of balancing minority cultures with a shared public culture. Rex also addresses the practical challenges in education systems, highlighting how schools become sites of conflict when attempting to reconcile cultural diversity with the demand for equal opportunities and integration.
