Multiculturalism as a political theory may provide us with a possibility of generating a new idea and understanding of the nation-state as it relates to ethnic minority communities. In the modern nation-state, a cultural identity of ethnic minorities has largely been ignored: it has been either incorporated into a majority or excluded from the mainstream. Multiculturalism offers hope that in the new idea of the nation-state ethnic minorities may be juxtaposed with minorities. Multiculturalism, however, faces some difficulty because of its emphases on cultural essentialism: it is so much like the system of discrimination, which has some bearing upon the idea of the idea of the nation-state. This article highlights one of the ways in which multiculturalism could avoid such an obstacle and construct a new thought on a trans-national identity in ethnic minority communities.
