Publisher description
This book examines key issues surrounding ethnicity and human rights in
Canada, revealing ways in which human rights violations, by way of
discrimination on the bases of race and ethnicity, create and sustain the
marginalized status of diverse racial and ethnic groups. Minority rights issues
central to the concerns of Canada's three major ethnic consituencies are
examined: Aboriginal peoples; Franco-Quebecois; and racial and ethnic immigrant
groups. Other central issues--gender, religious symbolism, and the mosaic versus the melting pot--are also
considered. In ten chapters, the author leads students through the pressures that flow
from Canada's international human rights obligations, new patterns of
immigration and ethnic structure, and the politicization of ethnicity. Racism,
ethnicity, ethnic identity, social stratification, human rights violations, and
the social construction of ethnic and other minorities are examined, as are the
the vertical ethnic mosaic and the Canadian system of ethnic stratification.
Ethnic integration including models, policies, and realities are well articulated, as are minority protest
movements. Examines key issues surrounding ethnicity and human rights in Canada.
Minority rights issues of Canada's three major ethnic constituencies are
examined: Aboriginal peoples; Franco-Quebecois; and racial and ethnic immigrant
groups. Other issues--gender, religious symbolism, and the mosaic versus the
melting post--are also considered.
