John F. Welsh provides a comprehensive survey of libertarian and individualist thought on race and multiculturalism. Examining such thinkers as Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, Lysander Spooner, Albert Jay Nock, and Max Stirner, Welsh's provocative book demonstrates the analytical power of dialectical-libertarian perspectives. Exploring multiple, interconnected theoretical levels, Welsh offers a fundamentally radical critique of racism in all its guises, while challenging current models of thinking on this volatile subject. This is truly a much-needed addition to the growing scholarly literature

Chris Matthew Sciabarra, author of Ayn Rand: The Russian Radical

This book highlights individualist and libertarian ideas that contribute toward the realization of a society free from racial domination....An important addition to race, ethnicity, public policy, and multiculturalism literature. Highly recommended.

After Multiculturalism is a very significant contribution to the discourse on race and multiculturalism. This book provides a "third dimension" to what has become a two-sided debate over race and multiculturalism in the United States. Welsh draws on a diverse range of individualist and libertarian perspectives in building a theoretical framework that critiques the logic of diversity guiding multicultural thought while simultaneously laying the foundations for a dialectical libertarian analysis of racism, which holds the possibility of overcoming the violence and inequalities that result from it.After Multiculturalism is an outstanding piece of scholarship, it transcends the political categories of "right" and "left" and offers a critique that will receive serious attention from scholars on the "multicultural left" as well as their rightist critics.
