A clear and engaging analysis of the limitations of liberal identity politics, in both political theory and the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Canada.

Reviews
Christa Scholtz, author of Negotiating Claims: The Emergence of Indigenous Land Claim Negotiation Policies in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States:
The Perils of Identity lays out various philosophical treatments of identity, addresses their limitations, and then offers a means for judges to address group claims. The scholarship is very sound and the author is at the top of her game. Dick’s book will be read widely by political theorists and legal scholars, as well as feminist scholars and those studying Aboriginal-state relations.

Byron Sheldrick, author of Perils and Possibilities: Social Activism and the Law:
Well-written and accessible, The Perils of Identity significantly advances the debate around multiculturalism and group rights, some of the most pressing issues of our time. I would assign it to students interested in Aboriginal politics, but also as a reading for courses on equality rights, constitutionalism, or politics/identity.
