Book Review: Multiculturalism and the Canadian Constitution, by Stephen Tierney (ed)

[para. 1]: " It is trite but nonetheless true that one should never judge a book by its cover. Yet, occasionally, a book's title and cover convey much meaning. Stephen Tierney's recent collection, Multiculturalism and the Canadian Constitution, is a fine example. The title is printed in white and set on a red background, which is divided into the shapes of a few maple leaves and variously sized boxes. The letters of the title are refracted through these boxes, producing a kaleidoscopic image of the Canadian flag. In this image, readers glimpse the essence of multiculturalism, federalism, and constitutionalism. The integrity of the title is preserved, though its constituent elements are separated, disjointed, and circumscribed within their own private boundaries."
