The Philosophy of Multiculturalism

When I wrote my previous book on Multiculturalism and Arab American Literature, I first was attracted with the issue of a multicultural background of modern citizens whenever they emigrate from one country to another, from one culture to another, from one language to another, and from one system of customs, traditions, and historical experiences to another. How can they adapt? How can they adjust and familiarize? What are the necessary requirements for such an integration within the ¿new¿ environment, the ¿strange¿ community, and novel society? To what extent are they ready to respond to such desires? And what are the difficulties and obstacles they might face in the process of adaptation?
