Religion, culture, and the state : reflections on the Bouchard-Taylor report

Adelman, Howard, 1938- (Added Author). Anctil, Pierre, 1952- (Added Author).

Summary: Religion, Culture, and the State addresses reasonable accommodation from legal, political, and anthropological perspectives. Using the 2008 Bouchard-Taylor Report as their point of departure, the contributors contextualize the English and French Canadian experiences of multiculturalism and diversity through socio-historical analysis, political philosophy, and practical comparisons to other jurisdictions. Timely and engaging, Religion, Culture, and the State is a valuable resource in the discussion of religious pluralism in Canadian society."--Pub. desc.
