| Summary: | Multicultural States combines discussions of the principles of cultural pluralism, nationalism, and minority identities with informative studies of specific local histories and political conflicts in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Ireland and Britain to identify common problems in the postcolonial era. The contributors discuss a range of issues from political versus cultural constructions of nationhood in the USA and Australia to ethnic nationalism in post-apartheid South Africa and multicultural law and education in Canada and New Zealand.
