Culture, Citizenship, and Community

A Contextual Exploration of Justice as Evenhandedness

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book makes a significant contribution to the contemporary debate about multiculturalism and democratic theory. It reflects upon the ways in which claims about culture and identity are advanced by immigrants, national minorities, aboriginals, and other groups. It argues that liberal democrats should provide recognition and support for minority cultures and identities, and examines case studies from a number of different societies to show how theorists can learn about justice.
