Abstract

In the introduction to this book, I brought to light the concept of group integration. But why is it important to study groups to begin with, and how ought we to study their interactions? This chapter looks at each of these questions. First, I turn to liberal theory to demonstrate that group rights are paramount to protecting individual autonomy. As it stands, however, liberal multiculturalism provides a framework that permits, but does not necessarily require, states to make provisions for group integration. So the second section of this chapter explores some problems that are often overlooked by liberal multiculturalism, using the work of Iris Marion Young.
