Ethnicity and Human Rights in Canada - A Human Rights Perspective on Race, Ethnicity, Racism and Systemic Inequality (Paperback, 3rd Revised edition)

This book examines key issues surrounding ethnicity and human rights in Canada. It reveals the ways in which human rights violations, by way of discrimination on the bases of race and ethnicity, create and sustain the marginalized status of diverse racial and ethnic groups. Minority rights issues central to the concerns of Canada's three major ethnic constituencies are examined: Aboriginal peoples; Franco-Quebecois; and racial and ethnic immigrant groups. Other central issues--gender, religious symbolism, and the mosaic versus the melting post--are also considered.
