The areas explored are: the federal multicultural policy and its
articulated discourse, intentions and outcomes in today's Canada;
how ethnic, racial and religious minorities and immigrants have
fared in a society with official multiculturalism; the limits and
possibilities of multicultural education; and the capacity of
employment equity to address discriminatory employment practices in
today's cultural context. The contributors demonstrate that instead
of opening opportunities for full and effective participation in
Canadian society, the current discourse of multiculturalism often
operates to homogenize, essentialize, racialize and marginalize
ethnic and racial minority group Canadians, and in the process
negates individual and intra-cultural group differences as well as
cultural variations and complexities of groups. In light of this
situation, we observe that there is a need for a paradigm shift
that would facilitate the development of policies, programs,
curricula, practices, strategies and pedagogies that would bring
about equitable conditions for minority group Canadians and
immigrants.
