"The recognition of cultural diversity is not just about the law or politics, it is also about the welfare state and though citizens of the state share the law and welfare state, it is the redistribution of resources through the welfare state that asks burning questions of our mutuality... This issue is explored in detail in Multiculturalism and the Welfare State."--The Muslim World Book Review
