Multiculturalism in Vassanji’s - No New Land and Rohinton Mistry’s - A Fine Balance

In a internationally connected world, it is gradually more common for individuals to belong to and be influenced by more than one culture. Based on a critique of conceptualizations from psychology, management, marketing, anthropology, and sociology, we bring clarity and consistency to conceptualizing and measuring multiculturalism at the individual level. We propose has knowledge of, identification with, and internalization of more than one social culture, and recommend methods to measure each dimension. Finally, we suggest how individual-level multiculturalism influences, and is influenced by, social networks and power dynamics in international organizations.
