Recenzje

'The Ashgate Research Companion to Multiculturalism is a comprehensive and engrossing treatment of an important subject. The chapters not only offer comprehensive reviews of the state of the debate; they also make engaging and provocative contributions to that debate. This is a book that students and scholars alike will find useful and interesting.' Simone Chambers, University of Toronto, Canada 'An impressive international cast of contributors survey the current literature in this vital field of political and social theory, whilst transforming and renewing these debates and controversies. This book is an essential starting point for research in the field and an necessary reference point for all who wish to defend or challenge the multiculturalist approach to cultural and identity-group accommodation.' Paul Kelly, London School of Economics, UK '... the book provides thought-provoking debate on the theoretical basis for multiculturalism. It seeks, as Ivison puts it, to provide an alternative perspective to discussions driven by fear or short-term political agendas.' Runnymede Bulletin
