As the leading book in its field, Religion and Ethnicity in
Canada has been embraced by scholars, teachers, students, and
policy makers as a breakthrough study of Canadian religio-ethnic
diversity and its impact on multiculturalism. A team of established
scholars looks at the relationships between religious and ethnic
identity in Canada's six largest minority religious communities:
Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jews, Muslims and practitioners of
Chinese religion. The chapters also highlight the ethnic diversity
extant within these traditions in order to offer a more nuanced
appreciation of the variety of lived experiences of members of
these communities.
Together, the contributors develop consistent themes throughout
the volume, among them the changing nature of religious practice
and ideas, current demographics, racism, and the role of women.
Chapters related to the public policy issues of healthcare,
education and multiculturalism show how new ethnic and religious
diversity are challenging and changing Canadian institutions and
society. Comprehensive and insightful, Religion and Ethnicity in
Canada makes a unique contribution to the study of world religions
in Canada.
