Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book makes a significant contribution to the contemporary debate about multiculturalism and democracy. It discusses questions about immigration, national minorities, aboriginals and others. It argues that liberal democrats should often provide recognition and support for minority cultures and identities. It examines case studies from a number of different societies to show how theorists can learn about justice by reflecting upon actual practice
MoreLong description:
This book contributes to contemporary debates about multiculturalism and democratic theory by reflecting upon the ways in which claims about culture and identity are actually advanced by immigrants, national minorities, aboriginals and other groups in a number of different societies. Carens advocates a contextual approach to theory that explores the implications of theoretical views for actual cases, reflects on the normative principles embedded in practice, and takes account of the ways in which differences between societies matter. He argues that this sort of contextual approach will show why the conventional liberal understanding of justice as neutrality needs to be supplemented by a conception of justice as evenhandedness and why the conventional conception of citizenship is an intellectual and moral prison from which we can be liberated by an understanding of citizenship that is more open to multiplicity and that grows out of practices we judge to be just and beneficial.
The issues Carens addresses with such clarity and engagement are political rather than philosophical. That lesson alone is worth the price of admission.
