Book Overview
Many people think that ethnocultural politics in Canada are spiraling out of control, with ever more groups making ever greater demands. This book offers a more balanced picture. We have learned important lessons about how to accommodate ethnocultural differences, from the integration of immigrants to the accommodation of Quebecois nationalism, and these lessons can help us tackle the major challenges still facing us.

interesting case study
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is divided into 2 sections. The first basically shows ways in which the theory of multinationalism that is set out in "Liberalism, Community and Culture" and "Multicultural Citizenship" should be applied in the Canadian context. Kymlicka identifies Quebec and aboriginals as national groups in the Canadian case. While it seems clear that there would be practical problems, were Canada to attempt the national recognition suggested, this section is a thoughtful perspective on a country that has spent a tremendous amount of time over the past decades attempting to manage the multiple nations within the state. The second section looks at the application of multiculturalism to non-national immigrant communities and over all is fairly favourable. This is a refreshing perspective in light of the trend towards negative publications about Canadian multiculturalism.
