Multiculturalism Reconsidered 'Culture and Equality' and Its Critics

"Brian Barry's polemical assault on multiculturalism has provoked an impressive - and vigorous - set of responses. The 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
