'This book provides valuable information and commentary on one of the most important developments in contemporary Western legal systems: their confrontation with the challenges and opportunities of deepening cultural diversity. Wide-ranging and richly detailed, it offers thought-provoking reading for all practitioners and theorists of law in multicultural societies.' Roger Cotterrell, Queen Mary University of London, UK '...this book raises topical and important issues about the future of legal practice in societies which are increasingly diverse both in culture and religion. The editors deserve credit for the thoughtful arrangement of essays, the intended aim of which is to document and explore a wide range of aspects from the perspective of social sciences.' Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Law '...this book raises topical and important issues on the future of legal practice in increasingly culturally and religiously diverse societies. The editors deserve credit for the thoughtful arrangement of essays, the intended aim of which is to document and explore a wide range of aspects from the perspective of social sciences.' Legal Studies 'The book is made up of a high percentage of very strong articles that all have a clear legal understanding and all reflect highly relevant perspectives on contemporary discourse on plurality in society ... refreshingly original and scholarly insights into the current state of the art ... well written ... funny at times.' Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations
