Title
Internal Minorities and their Rights
Abstract
The author references Anglophone Quebecers as an example of an "internal minority" (a minority community within a minority community) whose collective rights conflict with the collective rights of the more numerous minority population of which the internal minority is a part. The author examines this phenomenon within the context of liberal theory, but admits that he has no answer on how to resolve such conflicts. He points out that "the existence of conflicts is what is at issue, for it has significant consequences for the relationship between liberalism and minorities."
