Pluralism and the Politics of Difference (State, Culture, and Ethnicity in Comparative Perspective)

This powerful new study examines pluralism in three settings: early states, modern industrial societies, and the contemporary postmodern' world, each of which vary economically, politically, and in the space they allow difference. Identifying several kinds of pluralism, the author points to a range of choices facing us as we move into the twenty-first century, trying to reconcile the competing demands of universalism and difference.
