Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1971 Canada was the first nation in the world to establish an official multiculturalism policy with an objective to assist cultural groups to overcome barriers to integrate into Canadian society while maintaining their heritage language and culture. Since then Canada’s practice and policy of multiculturalism have endured and been deemed as successful by many Canadians. As well, Canada’s multiculturalism policy has also enjoyed international recognition as being pioneering and effectual. Recent public opinion suggests that an increasing majority of Canadians identify multiculturalism as one of the most important symbols of Canada’s national identity. On the other hand, this apparent successful record has not gone unchallenged. Debates, critiques, and challenges to Canadian multiculturalism by academics and politicians have always existed to some degree since its policy inception over four decades ago. In the current international context there has been a growing assault on, and subsequent retreat from, multiculturalism in many countries. In Canada debates about multiculturalism continue to emerge and percolate particularly over the past decade or so. In this context, we are grappling with the following questions: • What is the future of multiculturalism and is it sustainable in Canada? • How is multiculturalism related to egalitarianism, interculturalism, racism, national identity, belonging and loyalties? • What role does multiculturalism play for youth in terms of their identities including racialization? • How does multiculturalism play out in educational policy and the classroom in Canada? These central questions are addressed by contributions from some of Canada’s leading scholars and researchers in philosophy, psychology, sociology, history, education, religious studies, youth studies, and Canadian studies. The authors theorize and discuss the debates and critiques surrounding multiculturalism in Canada and include some very important case studi

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human rights has become the dominant vernacular for framing social problems around the world. In this book, Dominique Clément presents a paradox in politics, law, and social practice: he argues that whereas framing grievances as human rights violations has become an effective strategy, the increasing appropriation of rights-talk to frame any and all grievances undermines attempts to address systemic social problems. His argument is followed by commentator response from several leading human rights scholars and practitioners in Canada and abroad who bridge the divide between academia, public policy, and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the 1960s are overwhelmingly associated with student radicalism and the New Left, most Canadians witnessed the decade's political, economic, and cultural turmoil from a different perspective. Debating Dissent dispels the myths and stereotypes associated with the 1960s by examining what this era's transformations meant to diverse groups of Canadians and not only protestors, youth, or the white middle-class. With critical contributions from new and senior scholars, Debating Dissent integrates traditional conceptions of the 1960s as a 'time apart' within the broader framework of the 'long-sixties' and post-1945 Canada, and places Canada within a local, national, an international context. Cutting-edge essays in social, intellectual, and political history reflect a range of historical interpretation and explore such diverse topics as narcotics, the environment, education, workers, Aboriginal and Black activism, nationalism, Quebec, women, and bilingualism. Touching on the decade's biggest issues, from changing cultural norms to the role of the state, Debating Dissent critically examines ideas of generational change and the sixties.

Download or read book Mass Media Communication in Canada written by Augie Fleras and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mass Media Communication in Canada deals with the politics of persuasion in mediating the relationship between media and a rapidly changing and increasingly diverse Canada. The text focuses on the ideology and political workings of media, rather than the policies and institutions themselves. It deals with the social dimensions of media communication, presenting media as a form of persuasion and a system of power. The focus is on media in Canadian society, with particular emphasis on the relationship of media to race, gender, and society-building. Mass Media Communication in Canada is divided into three sections: Framing the Media examines mainstream media in terms of what they are, what they are mandated to do, what they really do, and how they go about doing it Media Processes explains how media work, from how newscasting constructs reality to how specific media forms (TV programming, advertising, cinema and new digital media) operate Media in Society looks specifically through case studies and suggested debates at some of the main issues in Canadian media (gender, minorities and multiculturalism, and ?Canada-building?)

Download or read book Canadian Political Debates written by Christopher J. C. Dunn and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the perennial debates of Canadian politics in a way that will appeal to both the layperson and the introductory student. Each topic is addressed in three ways: first, an introduction to the essential terms and history of the issue; second, an affirmative response to the question; and third, a negative response.The book can supplement the normal 'structures and institutions' approach to Canadian politics. It can also stand alone for those who want to be informed on the issues that matter most to many Canadians today. As Dunn argues in the Introduction, the most informed reader may be the one who considers both sides of the arguments with a healthy scepticism.
