Summary:

This title is an appraisal of the impact of multiculturalism on legal scholarship. Far from making society more humane and less oppressive, radical multiculturalism is destructive of dialogue and community. Worse, the authors contend, radical multiculturalism has deep structural links to anti-Semitism and other forms of racism.
