A new contribution to our understanding of democracy and multiculturalism, which bridges the gap between abstract accounts of public reasoning and more concrete proposals for democratic reform.This new study unites the two central themes of contemporary political theory: multiculturalism and group-recognition, and connects them to the increasingly important theme of deliberative democracy.Bringing together the thinking of key theorists such Rawls, Habermas, and Pettit, with that of multiculturalists such as Kymlicka and democrats, such as Young, Phillips, and Williams, Cillian McBride challenges the conventional group-based understanding of political inclusion to advance a radical new interpretation of deliberative politics. While sharing the goal of making democratic politics more sensitive to the concerns of the disadvantaged, she adopts a contestatory approach to politics and culture, instead of a politics of cultural protectionism and deference to group claims.This book will be of

A thrilling, darkly comic journey of a Black musician making his way from the trenches of the Somme, to the jazz clubs of Harlem, to the illicit inner sanctum of Woodrow Wilson’s White House, by the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author of James.In 1918, Arthur Champion is one of a handful of Black students attending the Oberlin Conservatory of Music when he runs afoul of a vindictive professor and finds himself unceremoniously enlisted in the United States Army. What ensues is one man’s sweeping voyage through the decade, a kaleidoscopic view of America during seismic social shifts from the author hailed by The Chicago Tribune as “our current Great American Novelist.”A brilliant interrogation of racism and ownership in art, Serious Music is a breakneck, high-octane read, thrumming with the electrifying humor and rigorous moral clarity that is the hallmark of this masterful writer’s contribution to American letters.
