Abstract
Straehle reviews Multicultural Jurisdictions — Cultural Differences and Women’s Rights by Ayelet Shachar. Straehle examines Shachar’s look at the argument that rights awarded to minority cultures by the majority state allows for unfavorable activities, such as oppression of women, on the basis of traditional cultural practices. She uses the combined assimilation and autonomy of Aboriginal Peoples in Canada as an example.
