Recenzii
'Arneil should be required reading alongside Bowling Alone. Her arguments about the power dynamics undergirding social capital and the importance of conflict offer a critical corrective to a rose-coloured view of social cohesion and trust.' Canadian Journal of Sociology
'What sets Arneil's book apart from other multicultural and feminist critiques of Bowling Alone is the way in which she uses her re-interpreted history of American civil society to point toward alternative regulatory principles of civic engagement for an increasingly multicultural America … an important contribution toward conceiving a form of communal belonging that will also respond to people's desires for cultural distinctness, mutual respect, and meaningful membership.' Scott Mclean, Political Science Quarterly
'For Arneil, social capital is not neutral, nor does it have only positive outcomes. Like other social capital theorists, such as Pierre Bourdieu, she sees it as another means for the powerful to protect their interests. … Arneil's much more complex and exacting challenge to us in Diverse Communities is to build a just society in which everyone truly belongs and everyone can fully participate and flourish.' Tim Broadhead, Literary Review of Canada
'For Arneil, the assertion and recognition of issues about diversity and social justice on a broad front in contemporary America fail to accord with Putnam's vision of what we may generally regard as the 'good' society. Arneil's central criticism is reinforced by a range of sophisticated arguments drawing on the women's movement, philanthropy, and civil action, as well as political theory, and the broader and critical perspectives of Pierre Bourdieu and Jean Cohen … Arneil's achievement in Diverse Communities may well prove to be like that of Friedrich Engels with his Anti-During in the nineteenth century: readers have remembered the critique while the work subjected to such treatment has itself passed into oblivion.' Harry Goulbourne Journal of Ethnic and Racial Studies
