Finding Our Way: Rethinking Ethnocultural Relations in Canada

by Will Kymlicka

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.
