Moderating Role

Discrimination of immigrant groups is an important social problem in many societies around the world. This study examines the moderating role of cultural diversity beliefs on the relation between dual identity and the intention to protest against immigrants’ discrimination. An experimental study was conducted among national samples of the three main immigrant-origin groups in the Netherlands. It was found that dual identity predicted the intention to protest against discrimination more strongly within a context of multicultural recognition compared to a context of assimilation or interculturalism. This demonstrates that multicultural recognition is a facilitating condition for dual identifiers to get involved in collective action for social change.

The Us

This article is an eco-feminist approach to understanding sustainability and social change, and engages with issues such as why the homogenization of crop production is dangerous, why it is the multinational corporation seed industry that needs regulations and not the small farmers and how colonization is taking place through seed patents. It also documents the Navdanya movement for the protection of biological and cultural diversity, raises concerns about the ecological and health impacts of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), addresses the issue of farmers’ suicide in India after the introduction of Bt cotton in the country, addresses the ongoing fight against the US seed giant Monsanto for the illegal and unauthorized manner in which GMO has been introduced in India, and highlights farmers’ rights vis-à-vis the seed.
