Further reading


A general book on the importance of culture in people’s lives is Michael Carrithers, Why
Humans Have Cultures: Explaining Anthropology and Social Diversity(Oxford: Oxford
University Press, 1992). Two fairly straightforward discussions of culture are provided by
Geertz (1993) – read the first essay in the book – and Benedict (2006), chapters 1–3. On
religion, read Sharpe (1983). On the historical development of multiculturalism – or the
‘politics of recognition’ – read Taylor (1994). For various competing theories of
multiculturalism you should read Waldron (1995); Tully (1995); Rawls (1993); see also
Jürgen Habermas, ‘Struggles for Recognition in the Democratic Constitutional State’ in A.
Gutmann (ed.) Multiculturalism: Examining the Politics of Recognition(Princeton, NJ:
Princeton University Press, 1995) and other essays in that volume.
