Accommodating ethnic diversity is a major challenge for all
democratic nations and a topic that has attracted a great deal of
attention in the last few decades. Within Quebec, a new approach
has emerged that seeks a balance between the needs of minorities
and those of the majority. In Interculturalism, sociologist and
historian Gerard Bouchard presents his vision of interculturalism
as a model for the management of diversity. A pluralist approach
which recognizes the existence of a cultural majority whose rights
must also be acknowledged, interculturalism constitutes an
important alternative to multiculturalism both in Canada and
internationally. Written by one of Quebec's leading public
intellectuals and the co-chair of the Bouchard-Taylor Commission on
reasonable accommodation, Interculturalism is the first clear and
comprehensive statement in English of an approach being discussed
around the world. A translation of Bouchard's award-winning
French-language work, L'Interculturalisme: Un point de vue
quebecois, this book features a new foreword by philosopher Charles
Taylor and an afterword by the author written specifically for the
English-language edition.
