POLITICS OF
RECOGNITION"
Can a democratic
society treat all its members
as equals and also
recognize their specific
cultural identities? Is
political recognition of
ethnicityor gender essential
to a person's dignity? These
are some of the questions at
the heart of the political
controversy over
"multiculturalism."
In this book Charles

informed, philosophical
perspective on what is at
stake in the demand made
for recognition of particular
group identities. His
thoughts seNe as a point of
departure for commentaries
by other leading thinkers,
who further relate the
demand for recognition to
issues of multicultural
education, feminism, and
cultural separatism.

From the Wall to Reunification
A. James McAdams
Germany Divided
is the first scholarly comprehensive interpretation of
the forty-year relationship between East and West Germany and of the
problems of contemporary German unity. A. James McAdams dissects the
complex process by which East and West German leaders moved over the
years from first pursuing the ideal of German unity, to accepting what they
believed to be the inescapable reality of division, and then, finally, to meeting
the challenges of an unanticipated reunification.
