<br/><br/>"What does it mean to be Canadian? How important are ties to one's own ethnic group? Do races really exist? Is assimilation linked to economic well-being? How does racism show itself in Canadian society? These are all questions that perspectives on Ethnicity in Canada: A Reader will prompt students to ask of themselves and of other Canadians. Articles on theory will give students the background to better understand the concepts of race and ethnicity. Census data will reveal how Canadians really view themselves. Current research will explore the insidious nature of prejudice and discrimination.  There are no easy answer; however, avenues do exist for the advancement of ethnic relations in Canada. Perspectives on Ethnicity in Canada: A Reader is a step in the right direction.'' (Book Cover) CONTENTS: PART I - ETHNICITY: A MATTER OF DEFINITION AND THEORY<br/>  01.
