About This Book
Issues relating to diversity and pluralism permeate both social and political discourses in Canada. Of particular interest to this book are those issues raised when the demands of ethno-cultural diversity fail to converge with prescriptive objectives to promote said diversity within a democratic liberal state. In this way, this book scrutinizes the prescriptive intentions of Canadian multiculturalism and the ways in which it functions to conceal and protect White-European cultural and political dominance in Canadian society. So proposed, this book argues for a robust reorientation of liberalism through the normative starting point of non-ideal theory. Likewise, it shows that a radical liberal interculturalism triad, consisting of interculturalism, asymmetrical reciprocity and rectificatory justice can upend the misleading framework of mainstream liberal social contract theory.
