Multiculturalism Reconsidered by Paul Kelly
Can multiculturalists be egalitarians and should egalitarians be multiculturalists? Is the absence of cultural recognition an injustice in the same way as the absence of individual rights or basic resources? These are some of the questions considered in this wide--ranging series of essays inspired by the political philosopher Brian Barry.
"Brian Barry’s polemical assault on multiculturalism has provoked an impressive – and vigorous – set of responsesThe individual contributions are of very high quality, while the volume as a whole is unusually coherent and productive. This is political theory at its best: entertaining, philosophically sophisticated and politically relevant. An excellent collection on a crucial issue." Adam Swift, Balliol College, Oxford
"In Culture and Equality Brian Barry set out to do a demolition job on multiculturalism ... Multiculturalism Reconsidered provides an opportunity for some of Barry's protagonists to answer back ... In general, there are some thoughtful responses worthy of more detailed consideration. "Gurharpal Singh, The Times Higher educatiion Supplement
"[This book] is a worthwhile addition to the ongoing intramural debate among liberals about multiculturalism." Canadian Journal of Political Science
