" . . . a significant contribution to the liberal debate over
multiculturalism. . . . For those who are in need of a thorough,
detailed, and sensitive discussion of the varieties of modern
liberalism, I wholeheartedly recommend Gill's book. Its command of
the literature is hugely impressive, and her ability to disentangle
the many threads that go to make up modern liberalism is both
instructive and stimulating. Hers is a book that both demands and
repays careful attention by the reader . . . "--American Political
Science Review
"An invigorating and eye-opening re-examination of citizenship,
ethnic and gender identity, religious toleration, community, and
virtually every other major topic on the agenda of liberals and
their critics. . . . A sophisticated yet highly readable book that
will be useful for introductory courses in political philosophy, or
more advanced courses in liberalism and its critics, gender and
ethnic studies, and constitutional law."--Donald S. Lutz, author of
Preface to American Political Theory"Becoming Free is
well-informed, carefully argued, balanced, and fair. Even those who
disagree with Gill will find much food for thought, and much
wisdom, here."--Rogers Smith, author of Civic Ideals: Conflicting
Visions of Citizenship in U.S. History
