Reviews for Multiculturalism and the Foundations of Meaningful Life: Reconciling Automony, Identity, and Community
"An important and original work on a pressing and difficult issue. Robinson cuts through the standard terms of the "liberal-multiculturalism" debate and reconfigures them in a way that will fundamentally change the debate. His book is like a breath of fresh air on the subject. - Don Carmichael, co-author of Democracy, Rights and Well-Being in Canada"
