Black cloth-bound boards with gold type to spine. Deals with some of the principles of pluralism in a modern Western society; starts with the concept of culture, then establishes how this comes under attack, becomes modified due to external forces, and concludes that for an ethnic group to survive and maintain its culture the group may need to establish some separate structures and institutes.
