Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberal democracies are based on principles of inclusion and tolerance. But how does the principle of tolerance work in practice in countries such as Germany, France, India, South Africa, and the United States, where an increasingly wide range of cultural groups holds often contradictory beliefs about appropriate social and family life practices? As these democracies expand to include peoples of vastly different cultural backgrounds, the limits of tolerance are being tested as never before. Engaging Cultural Differences explores how liberal democracies respond socially and legally to differences in the cultural and religious practices of their minority groups. Building on such examples, the contributors examine the role of tolerance in practical encounters between state officials and immigrants, and between members of longstanding majority groups and increasing numbers of minority groups. The volume also considers the theoretical implications of expanding the realm of tolerance. Some contributors are reluctant to broaden the scope of tolerance, while others insist that the notion of "tolerance" is itself potentially confining and demeaning and that modern nations should aspire to celebrate cultural differences. Coming to terms with ethnic diversity and cultural differences has become a major public policy concern in contemporary liberal democracies, as they struggle to adjust to burgeoning immigrant populations. Engaging Cultural Differences provides a compelling examination of the challenges of multiculturalism and reveals a deep understanding of the challenges democracies face as they seek to accommodate their citizens' diverse beliefs and practices.

Book excerpt: "Nadia": opens as Max Klein, a brash loner and womanizer, abandons his academic career to pursue and confront his parents, a mother who abandoned him when he was a toddler, and a father who has refused to acknowledge his existence. Derailed by a sexual misadventure with Iris Shelton, whom he abandons—and who secretly follows him—Max travels to California, where both parents live, and meets Nadia Varlova. She is Russian, young, intelligent, sexy, and a former (or current?) lover of Benjamin Farber, Max’s father. The coincidence is irresistible (though puzzling). Max uses Nadia to get to Farber, even as Nadia—who is in league with Farber and Iris—plans to seduce and humiliate Max.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Keaton] provides the most in-depth analysis of the predicament of French Arabs and Africans living in the suburbs of Paris.... [O]ne can read the book through the lens of such great African American writers and activists as Richard Wright, James Baldwin, and Malcolm X.... [It] contains an implicit warning to you, France, not to repeat the American racism in your country." -- from the foreword by Manthia Diawara Muslim girls growing up in the outer-cities of Paris are portrayed many ways in popular discourse -- as oppressed, submissive, foreign, "kids from the projects," even as veil-wearing menaces to France's national identity -- but rarely are they perceived simply as what they say they are: French. Amid widespread perceptions of heightened urban violence attributed to Muslims and highly publicized struggles over whether Muslim students should be allowed to wear headscarves to school, Muslim girls often appear to be the quintessential "other." In this vivid, evocative study, Trica Danielle Keaton draws on ethnographic research in schools, housing projects, and other settings among Muslim teenagers of North and West African origin. She finds contradictions between the ideal of universalism and the lived reality of ethnic distinction and racialized discrimination. The author's own experiences as an African American woman and non-Muslim are key parts of her analysis. Keaton makes a powerful statement about identity, race, and educational politics in contemporary France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book draws attention to the role of the adult in parenting and the cycle of mismanaged experiences displaying a repetitive pattern of adult behaviour generation after generation. It states that unless the adult is willing to open heart and mind, the journey of parenting will continue to assume the repetitive pattern of the same old tired errors. As, there is no formal training for parenting the book appeals to the adult's common sense, work at changes through self reflection and management of emotions to build a healthy, happy relationship with his or her child. The book serves the dual purpose of providing a guide, not solutions on varied, common topics affecting adult lives with young children, and at the sametime, creating awareness for the adult stepping into parenthood or for those working with children. It suggests that adults develop a sense of humour before attempting to manage a child's issue. It's time for self reflection. Get in touch and understand the parent's nature as a child first. In the end, the book guides those willing to open heart and mind to approach their child with an open to suggestions attitude.
