Global Multiculturalism by Grant Hermans Cornwell,Eve Walsh Stoddard Pdf

Global Multiculturalism offers a rich collection of case studies on ethnic, racial, and cultural diversity drawn from thirteen countries_each unique in the way it understands, negotiates, and represents its diversity. A multi-disciplinary group of authors shows how, in different nations, identity groups are included, or made invisible by forced assimilation, or reviled even to the point of genocide. Framed within a theoretical discussion of national identity, transnationalism, hybridity, and diaspora, each chapter surveys the demographics and history of its country and then analyzes the dynamics of diversity. With cases ranging from Bosnia to Chiapas, Cuba to China, and Zimbabwe to France, this volume offers a truly global perspective and scope. Its genuinely comparative methodology and range of disciplinary perspectives make it a unique resource for all those seeking to understand ethnic conflict and diversity.

Seeing Ourselves by Carl E. James Pdf

Being equipped to confront issues related to racial and ethnic diversity is a crucial skill for Canadians. This new edition of Seeing Ourselves uses a collection of personal comments and essays, written by students from a wide variety of ethnic backgrounds, to examine what it means to participate in the cultural and ethnic "mosaic" that comprises Canada today. Carl James creates a dialogue with students and readers that probes the meaning of ethnicity, race and culture, both in terms of the meanings individuals bring to these concepts and how they are understood in Canadian society as a whole. The varied perspectives, detailed analyses and careful reflections will be invaluable to anyone seeking to understand the meaning and implications of ethnic diversity in Canadian society today. To facilitate classroom discussion, this edition also includes background information and new, up-to-date statistics on the Canadian population - immigration trends, ethnic composition, religious affiliation and other characteristics of Canadians.

Race, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism by Maulana Karnaga Pdf

A critical discussion of the major concepts, theories & issues in the study of race & ethnic relations in the U.S. society with special focus on the experience of four core groups; The Native American, the African American, the Latin American & the Asian American. It is comparative in nature & explores similarities & differences between these four groups & the experience of women in general in terms of domination, resistance & cultural creativity. The text begins with a critical analysis of the missed opportunity by the founding fathers to respond creatively to the multicultural reality of U.S. society. It raises a series of substantive questions around the issue of how their conception of a good society was limited by race, class & gender constraints, & thus negatively the country's approach to diversity. Also treated are the various forms of resistance by each group which range from protests & strikes to armed struggle. Finally, the text deals with current critical issues which confront each group & which also are shared concerns of two or more groups.

The Ethnicity Reader by Maria Montserrat Guibernau i Berdún,Montserrat Guibernau,John Rex Pdf

Drawing on a wide range of examples, the selections included examine theories of nationalism and consider issues of ethnic integration and conflict in the USA, China, Britain, Germany, Quebec, Scotland, Galicia, Catalonia, Kurdistan, Iran, Iraq and Somaliland among other countries and regions. The reader, however, does not confine itself to the study of nationalism. Many of the selections deal with the role of ethnicity in groups which are not nationalist at all but for which ethnicity is an important factor in the process of migration. The concept of ethnicity is therefore discussed both in relation to group rights in existing nation states and in relation to transnational communities in a globalized world.

'Race' & Ethnicity in Canada by Vic Satzewich,Nikolaos Liodakis Pdf

Through their exploration of the central issues that affect Canadians today - immigration, multiculturalism, assimilation, racism, and Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal relations - the authors argue that race is not a biologically real category, but rather, a socially constructed label used to describe and explain certain kinds of human difference. The text questions whether there are patterns of race and ethnic relations that are truly unique to Canada, and puts Canada into a wider global context.
