Additional text

The current state of multiculturalism and its future is an enormously important and difficult topic. This fascinating collection provides new insights through its imaginative comparison of Canada, specifically Quebec, and Israel. Tacking back and forth between these two countries, the book opens up in provocative ways the links between religion, secularism, human rights, and the possibilities of a post-multicultural society.
