الملخص

أعطى حفل افتتاح الألعاب الأولمبية بلندن عام 2012 صورة واضحة عن بريطانيا الجديدة كمجتمع متعدد الثقافات، وليبرالي، ومتجانس. غير أنه وبعد استفتاء بريكست عام 2016، بدا وكأن نظاما يمتاز بالتنوع الثقافي ويجسد صورة بريطانيا قد تمت إزالته تماما. لذلك، يعنى هذا المقال بدراسة فكرة التنوع الثقافي ببريطانيا وما يتصل بها من أفكار أخرى تؤثر فيها مثل الهجرة، والهوية البريطانية، والإرهاب، وبريكست. كما يسعى المقال إلى معرفة ما إذا كان التنوع الثقافي في بريطانيا عامل تفرقة يؤدي إلى تحلل النسيج الإجتماعي عن طريق تشجيع الفوارق الثقافية أم أنه قوة اتحاد تؤدي الى شعور الأقليات الثقافية بانتمائها لمجتمع بريطاني أكثر اتساقا.
