Affairs, Vol.77, No.1, Jan 01. * opening chapter has the strong merit not only of providing an excellent guide to the complex policy and philosophical questions discussed in the book, but also of offering in itself an engaging and clarifying debate. * Soledad Garcia, Int. Affairs, Vol.77, No.1, Jan 01. * a well-structured and well-developed volume ... The editors introduce the book with intellectual refinement. * Soledad Garcia, Int. Affairs, Vol.77, No.1, Jan 01. * covers a wider-than-usual range of philosophical and policy questions about multiculturalism, ethnicity, and immigration * Jacob T Levy, Political Studies, Vol.49, No.1 * there is much in the way of original work here that adds to and develops some of the key debates surrounding multiculturalism.
