    This page intentionally left blank Justice, Gender, and the Politics of Multiculturalism Justice, Gender, and the Politics of Multiculturalism explores the tensions that arise when culturally diverse democratic states pursue both justice for religious and cultural minorities and justice for women. Sarah Song provides a distinctive argument about the circumstances under which egalitarian justice requires special accommodations for cultural minor- ities while emphasizing the value of gender equality as an important limit on cultural accommodation. Drawing on detailed case studies of gen- dered cultural conflicts, including conflicts over the ‘‘cultural defense’’ in criminal law, aboriginal membership rules, and polygamy, Song offers a fresh perspective on multicultural politics by examining the role of intercultural interactions in shaping such conflicts. In particular, she demonstrates the different ways that majority institutions have rein- forced gender inequality in minority communities and, in light of this, argues in favor of resolving gendered cultural dilemmas through inter- cultural democratic dialogue. SARAH SONG is Assistant Professor of Law and Political Science at the University of California, Berkeley. Contemporary Political Theory Series Editor Ian Shapiro Editorial Board Russell Hardin Stephen Holmes Jeffrey Isaac John Keane Elizabeth Kiss Susan Okin Phillipe Van Parijs Philip Pettit As the twenty-first century begins, major new political challenges have arisen at the same time as some of the most enduring dilemmas of political association remain unresolved. The collapse of communism and the end of the Cold War reflect a victory for democratic and liberal values, yet in many of the Western countries that nurtured those values there are severe problems of urban decay, class and racial conflict, and failing political legitimacy.
