George Crowder is professor in the School of Political and International Studies, Flinders University, Adelaide.

"Crowder’s book is an excellent overview of the multicultural literature: it is well written, fair minded and even tempered, and thoughtful. While this book reviews the multicultural literature, Crowder does not shy away from offering his own measured views of the many arguments he appraises.  This is a state of the art book."Jeff Spinner-Halev, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "Crowder pulls off the difficult task of providing a clear, fair and balanced account of the main approaches to multiculturalism while providing a distinctive liberal–pluralist view of his own. A real tour de force that manages to combine accessibility for the student and originality for the expert."Richard Bellamy, University College London "A magnificent achievement and doubtless will become a key text for some while to come."Bob Stillwell, University of East Anglia
