Description
Summary:A central strength of [Jeffrey G. Reitz] et al.'s volume is how they approach their analysis. Debates around multicultural policy and multicultural policy formulation tend to centre around whether the current policy "works." However, the authors recognize that solely engaging in debates as to whether the current policy "works" fails to get to the core of what needs to be considered in discussions on multicultural policy formulation: whether multicultural policy "works" is dependent on the validity of its inherent assumptions. In their analysis, the authors valuably move beyond the usual superficial debates of whether multicultural policy "works," meaningfully advancing discussions occurring in multicultural studies.
