Interculturalism
A View from Quebec
La description
In Interculturalism, sociologist and historian Gérard 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 Québec’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.
Reviews
‘This book deserves to be read widely. In other words, this is an essential reading for anyone interested in a key question facing both Quebec and Canada. ’
- James L. Kennedy
‘Interculturalism is an articulate, insightful, well-reasoned, and upbeat book… This translation of his book offers English Canadians an insightful and important window on the ethos and debates on cultural matters in Quebec, from a moderate but resolute Francophone perspective. ’
- Don Schweitzer
