This volume is a welcome antidote to the many books that confine themselves to an examination of multiculturalism in a single context. It should be read by anyone trying to understand the complex realities of globalization and multiculturalism in the twenty-first century.

It is highly recommended for courses concerned with multiculturalism, comparative racial and ethnic relations, identity politics, and cultural studies.
