点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Multiculturalism has been accused of preserving so-called "illiberal" cultural norms that are oppressive to women. Critics of multiculturalism claim that rather than giving political recognition to cultures, government should either stop respecting cultural rights at all or let those minority illiberal cultures to fade, or intervene directly into such cultures to enforce liberal rights and norms. Using several controversial cases in Canada, this study examined the effectiveness of direct and indirect intervention into such a culture.
