1. What are the main challenges of multiculturalism to Ireland in relation to Stereotype and prejudice against black community? Discuss it.

Please you will need to define multiculturalism before you start as this is important in order to then identify the challenges regarding Stereotype and Prejudice.
You will have to be very careful to focus your discussion solely on the Irish situation.

Essay format: The essay should be approximately 2,500 words long. It should be typed (double-spaced). Reference must be in Harvard style and please include pages numbers.

Please I suggest that you use 9 of those books on the list as sources choose those that you think are more relevant for this essay.
