Multiculturalism, diversity & inclusiveness: Diversity ideology, alienation and social exclusion in the post-civil rights era

Race scholars have long written about the realities of race, class and social alienation in historically white institutions.  Less discussed is how such exclusionary practices continue to persist in the social context of diverse, multicultural and inclusive societies. This paper examines and expands upon the need for rethinking how alienation theory can shed light upon continued racial practices in post-Civil Rights Amerika and the contemporary global economy.
