Abstract
This chapter examines what has happened to multicultural politics in light of the molecularisation of biology. While twenty-first-century biology has given way to approaches accentuating biological flexibility and plasticity through postgenomics and epigenetics, these new understandings of biological life have arisen alongside the global proliferation of race, ancestry and nationalisms in bioscientific research. In this chapter, I suggest that we might approach these developments through the frame of molecular multiculture to illuminate how human genome science has galvanised a new cultural politics of heredity where forms of multicultural inclusion intersect with democratic politics and the marketplace in large-scale genome science projects.
