In the latest issue of Workplace: A Journal for Academic Labor, David Gabbard reviews After Multiculturalism: The Discourse on Race and the Dialectics of Liberty, by John F. Welsh.
Welsh’s book offers an individualistic critique of multiculturalist thought in social theory and public policy through a survey of the discourses on race by major individualist theorists. The ideas of Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, Benjamin Tucker, Lysander Spooner, Max Stirner and contemporary libertarian scholars on race and racism are discussed to lay the foundation for the individualist critique of racism and multiculturalism.
Welsh responds to Gabbard’s review at The Stirner Cafe.

The other day someone asked for my opinion on Ayn. I went “oh crap,” and put her on my to-do list. I happened on your blog again and checked out John Welsh. Nice post, I’ll check out his book.
Thanks,
John
P.S. say hey to the family. My fish platter has come in real handy down here!
John’s book is interesting, he examines multiculturalism/racism from a unique angle. Hope all’s well on Lake Washington!
