Twenty Years of Multiculturalism

How does one measure ethnicity? What are the costs and benefits of multiculturalism? Where is the multicultural literature, theatre and folklore of Canada? What can the medical and other caring professions do to respond to the multicultural clients they serve? These are some of the broad issues tackled by the eighteen writers whose work appears in this volume. Presented first at a conference at the University of Manitoba in 1991, the papers relect a cross-section of informal views on the evolution of Canadian society in the two decades since the proclamation of Canadian multiculturalism policy. They offer provocative and stimulating reading to the specialist and general reader alike.
