Deals with state responses to cultural difference through the examination of a number of encounters between individuals, groups, and the state, in the United States and elsewhere. This book opens the concepts of groups and the state, arguing for the complexity of their relations and interpenetrations.

Trade Review
"In this rich and wide-ranging book, the reader is likely to encounter some stories that are thought-provoking, some of that were previously unfamiliar, and some that put old disputes in a new light."--Keith E. Whittington, The Law and Politics Book Review
