En savoir plus sur le livre

The book delves into the complexities faced by multicultural democracies in balancing justice for cultural minorities with gender equality. Sarah Song argues for the necessity of special accommodations for cultural practices while asserting that gender equality should limit these accommodations. Through case studies on issues like cultural defenses in law and polygamy, she highlights how majority institutions can perpetuate gender inequality within minority communities. Ultimately, Song advocates for resolving these gendered cultural conflicts through intercultural democratic dialogue.
