This new edition of Werbner and Modood's Debating Cultural Hybridity is at once timely and insightful. For it arrives at a time when the debate on multiculturalism and racism has become more urgent not just in Europe and in North America, but also in the various parts of the global South that have been the sources for the urgent interrogations of the project of social modernity. It is a must for all people concerned with the burning questions of our current time.

The reissue of these seminal essays reminds us that the turn to hybridity was never an invitation to celebration, but rather a challenge to think about the necessary conditions for an emancipatory politics. Given the civilizational hierarchy and liberal homogeneity that has informed the racisms of the "war on terror" era, their exploration of the complex task of building anti-racist alliances remains vital.

In the globalised world of the twenty-first century, cultural mixing and ethnic cross-fertilisation is a commonplace experience. Debating Cultural Hybridity offers a superb set of essays to understand the complexity of this experience and its political and social implications.

The volume continues to be the indispensable guide to hybridity. Many of the contributions to the volume have become classics but their genuine value is that they still allow us to discover elements of a politics of difference that responds to our current conjecture.
