Tolerable liberalism / Melissa S. Williams -- A liberalism of conscience / Lucas Swaine -- Multiculturalism and feminism : no simple question, no simple answers / Susan Moller Okin -- Can intra-group equality co-exist with cultural diversity? Re-examining multicultural frameworks of accommodation / Gurpreet Mahajan -- Dilemmas of gender and culture : the judge, the democrat and the political activist / Anne Phillips -- The rights of internal linguistic minorities / Alan Patten -- Autonomy, association and pluralism / Jeff Spinner-Haley -- Sexual orientation, exit and refuge / Jacob T. Levy -- On exit / Oonagh Reitman -- Minors within minorities : a problem for liberal multiculturalism / Rob Reich -- Beyond exit rights : reframing the debate / Daniel M. Weinstock -- Identity and liberal politics : the problem of minorities within minorities / Avigail Eisenberg -- Internal minorities and indigenous self-determination / Margaret Moore -- Self-determination as a basic human right : the Draft UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples / Cindy Holder -- Associative democracy and minorities within minorities / Veit Bader -- A deliberative approach to conflicts of culture / Monique Deveaux.
Summary: Most discussions of multiculturalism and group rights focus on the relationship between the minority and the majority. This volume advances our understanding of minority rights by focusing on conflicts that arise within minority groups and by examining the different sorts of responses that the liberal state might have to these conflicts. Groups around the world are increasingly successful in maintaining or winning autonomy. In light of this trend, a crucial question emerges: what happens to individuals within groups who find that their group discriminates against them? This volume brings together distinguished scholars who examine this question by weaving together normative political theory with case studies drawn from South Africa, the United States, India, Canada, and Britain. Classical liberalism, deliberative democracy, feminism, and associative democracy are among the theoretical frameworks used to offer solutions to the complex set of issues raised by minorities within minorities.
