Reconstructions of Canadian identity : towards diversity and inclusion / edited by Vander Tavares and Maria João Maciel Jorge. University of Manitoba Press. 2024. Call #: 305.800971 R3111 Subjects Multiculturalism -- Canada.   Social integration -- Canada.   National characteristics, Canadian.   Canadians -- Identity.   Canada -- Race relations.   Canada -- Ethnic relations. ISBN:  9781772840698 (pbk) Description:  386 p. ill. (b&w) ; 23 cm. Summary:  "In 1971, Canada became the first nation in the world to officially declare its bilingual and multicultural policies. Reconstructions of Canadian Identity examines what has changed over the past fifty years, highlighting the lived experiences of minoritized Canadians and offering insights into the critical work that lies ahead. Editors Vander Tavares and Maria João Maciel Jorge bring together a wide range of disciplines and perspectives to investigate inclusion and exclusion within the processes, discourses, and practices that forge and frame Canadian identity. Chapters analyze ways in which current multicultural policies continue to benefit the dominant groups and (further) harm minoritized ones, articulating a body politic that might encompass both Indigenous and settler cultures, lifestyles, and histories. Exposing the pitfalls of established notions of Canadian identity, this volume moves traditionally othered identities -- immigrant, racialized, hybridized, Indigenous, and women -- to the forefront. In doing so, it reveals how these identities negotiate and claim legitimacy, arguing for a reconceptualization from the margins that truly fosters diversity and inclusion. Illustrating both the shortcomings of and possibilities for a more inclusive multiculturalism in Canada, Reconstructions of Canadian Identity invites readers to reflect on what it means to be Canadian in the 21st century."-- Publisher.
