Abstract (2. Language): 
Multiculturalism can be defined as a sociopolitical movement which equally appreciates and promotes multiple cultures. In a multicultural country adopting multiculturalist policies, distinct ethnic, religious and cultural groups must be considered ‘equal’. So far, the practices of multiculturalism in various Western countries have caused many problems. As a political doctrine, multiculturalism has been accused of causing Islamic fundamentalism. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between a multicultural society and fundamentalism reflected in “My Son the Fanatic” (1994), a short story written by Hanif Kureishi, a famous Pakistani-British author
Abstract (Original Language): 
Çokkültürlülük, birden fazla kültürün eşit şekilde tanınmasını, saygı gösterilmesini ve teşvik edilmesini öngören sosyopolitik bir akımdır. Çokkültürlülük politikalarını benimsemiş çokkültürlü bir toplumda, birbirinden farklı etnik, dini ve kültürel gruplar birbirlerine eşit kabul edilmek zorundadırlar. Günümüze dek, pek çok Batı ülkesinde çokkültürlülük uygulamaları bazı problemler yaratmıştır. Siyasi bir doktrin olarak çokkültürlülük, İslami köktendinciliğe yol açmakla suçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Pakistan asıllı İngiliz yazar Hanif Kureishi’nin 1994 yılında kaleme aldığı “Fanatik Oğlum” isimli kısa hikâyesinde yansıttığı İslami köktendincilik ve çokkültürlü toplum ilişkisini araştırmaktır
