ABSTRACT
Multiculturalism comes in diff erent guises. . . . Th ere’s a progressive form that will be helpful to all students, and a retrogressive kind that . . . tends to set group against group. . . . Both seem to . . . express admiration for diversity. But in their philosophical and practical implications, the two conceptions are polar opposites. One version is the universalistic view [that stresses membership in humanity as a whole]. . . . Th e other is a particularistic view that stresses loyalty to one’s local culture. It could be called . . . “ethnic loyalism.”
