Gender and Justice in Multicultural Liberal States explores the challenges that culturally plural liberal states face when they hold competing political commitments to cultural rights and sexual equality, and advances an argument for resolving such dilemmas through democratic dialogue and negotiation. Exploring recent examples of gendered cultural conflicts in South Africa, Canada, and Britain, this book shows that there is an urgent need for workable strategies to mediate the antagonisms between the cultural practices and arrangements of certain ethno-cultural and religious groups and the norms and constitutional rights endorsed by liberal states.

"Deveaux's book is a breath of fresh air-it combines a theory-based approach with high-quality empirical research from several locations around the world. The book is at its best when describing issues of gender justice in diverse areas-Canada, South Africa, and Great Britain...[and is] likely to provoke debate about its theoretical implications while providing useful case studies."--CHOICE
