It fills an important gap in the field concerning the connection between criminal liability and cultural evidence. It invites us to ask some challenging questions concerning what it might mean to hold people truly responsible for crimes in the context of culturally diverse societies. * Daniel Savery, Political Studies Review * Author InformationWill Kymlicka's work, translated into 34 languages, has focused on how democratic countries address issues of ethnic, racial and religious diversity, with a special focus on the theory and practice of multicultural citizenship.
