摘要
Is it possible, in a modern, pluralistic society, to promote common bonds of citizenship while at the same time accommodating and showing respect for ethnocultural diversity? 'Citizenship' and 'diversity' have been two of the major topics of debate in both democratic politics and political theory over the past decade. Much has been written about the importance of citizenship, civic identities, and civic virtues for the functioning of liberal democracies, and the need to accommodate the ethnocultural, linguistic, and religious pluralism that is a fact of life in most modern states. By and large, however, these two topics have been largely discussed in mutual isolation. Much of the writing on the issues of both citizenship and diversity remains rather abstract and general and disconnected from the specific issues of public policy and institutional design. Citizenship in Diverse Societies examines the specific points of conflict and convergence between concerns for citizenship and diversity in democratic societies and reassesses and refines existing theories of 'diverse citizenship' by examining these theories in the light of actual practices and policies of pluralistic democracies.

This volume juxtaposes two contemporary debates not typically considered together. Those who advocate minority rights that accommodate the distinctive identities of ethnocultural subgroups within nation states arouse the concern of those whose major focus is on virtues and practices necessary to a common democratic citizenship. The essays attempt to integrate these dual concerns in the context of specific policy debates. Eamonn Callan and Jeff Spinner-Halev address citizenship education amidst religious diversity. Jane Mansbridge and Melissa Williams discuss the tensions of political representation under conditions of ethnocultural diversity. Jeremy Waldron, Tariq Madood, Ayelet Shacher, and Sawitri Saharso focus on tensions between citizenship and particularist identity in situations of cultural, ethnic, or religious diversity. Denise Reaume and Pierre Coulombe focus on language rights in Canada, while Jacob Levy and John Borrows write on the citizenship of indigenous peoples there. Finally, Graham Smith and Rainer Baub"ock discuss federalism in multicultural contexts. This collection is of uniformly high quality. Recommended for general readers, upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, and practitioners. E. R. Gill; Bradley University
