Reviews

The argument has the merit of informing theory with counterfactual scenarios with which to test many liberal assumptions. Years Work in Critical Cultural Theory Levy's book offers many interesting ideas about how to deal with the enormous challenges ethnocultural pluralism throws forth in most states. It deserves a wide readership beyond political theory, and should also be studied by international relations scholars, conflict researchers and practitioners, policymakers, and diplomats. The Global Review of Ethnopolitics The Multiculturalism of Fear is undoubtedly another book about multiculturalism, but rather than rehearsing old arguments in a familiar way, it contains a number of important messages and leads the reader to think about the topic in new ways.
