Reviews

?This festschrift, devoted to Kenneth D. McRae, serves as a reminder of another ongoing and important Canadian contribution to the study of cultural pluralism in liberal democracies that while philosophically grounded, also emphasizes histoically sensitive comparative analysis and theory testing. The diverse chapters inthis volume exemplify this contribution, while simultaneusly paying tribute to one of Canada's leading political scientists.?-Canadian Journal of Political Science
