A collection of new essays by a leading Canadian sociologist, this text covers a broad range of subjects on race and ethnicity in Canada: a demographic overview; human rights; policies on native people; multiculturalism; the politics of culture and language; ethnic identity and survival; the political economy of race and ethnicity; and gender and class.
Annotation The collected writings of a leading authority on Canada's ethnic and linguistic diversity.
Immigration, Racial and Ethnic Studies in 150 Years of Canada: Retrospects and Prospects provides a wide-ranging overview of immigration and contested racial and ethnic relations in Canada since confederation with a core theme being one of enduring racial and ethnic conflict.
Contains articles which provide an overview of the development and refinement of central concepts, the construction of theoretical propositions and empirical evidence concerning ethnicity and ethnic relations in Canada. Includes paper on native landclaims.
Through their exploration of the central issues that affect Canadians today - immigration, multiculturalism, assimilation, racism, and Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal relations - the authors argue that race is not a biologically real category, but rather, a socially constructed label used to describe and explain certain kinds of human difference. The text questions whether there are patterns of race and ethnic relations that are truly unique to Canada, and puts Canada into a wider global context.
Designed for courses in Race and Ethnic Relations. This introductory text comes at a time when the boundaries of "being Canadian" are being pushed to the limit by deep diversities. The book begins with the assumption that race, ethnic, and Aboriginal interactions are relations in inequality. It continues by emphasizing how these largely inequitable group relationships are constructed, sustained, challenged, and modified by way of official policy and institutional practices. It concludes by focusing on the politics of race, ethnic, and Aboriginal relations as they contribute to or detract from the challenge of Canadian society-building.
Appropriate for race and ethnic relations or ethnic studies courses found in most universities and colleges across Canada. Considered to be the market leader in courses on racism and ethnicity, Unequal Relations is highly regarded by adopters for its extensive and comprehensive coverage and its balanced treatment of the topic. In this fourth edition, the content has been refined and a test item file has been added. Fleras has included a new chapter on gender, without sacrificing the gender dimension in each of the chapters. The material in this text has been updated to keep it fresh and the concepts of multiculturalism, multicultural citizenship, and human rights continue to be reassessed in light of national and international developments. Each chapter opens with a "Debate Box" that sets the tone for the chapter and concludes with "Debate Revisited" box that draws inferences from the preceding debate. Many of the case studies have been revamped to incorporate a debate format. The "pro" and "con" approach is intended to engage readers in grappling with the issues that reflect different life experiences.
