Nota de la solapa:

In an age of multiculturalism and identity politics, many minoritygroups seek some form of official recognition or public accommodationof their identity. But can public institutions accurately recognize oraccommodate something as subjective and dynamic as"identity?" Avigail Eisenberg and Will Kymlicka lead adistinguished team of scholars who explore state responses to identityclaims worldwide. Their case studies focus on key issues where identityis central to public policy. By illuminating both the risks andopportunities of institutional responses to diversity, this volumeshows that public institutions can either enhance or distort thebenefits of identity politics.
