505 _a"Being equipped to confront issues related to racial and ethnic diversity is fast becoming a crucial skill for Canadians.
505 _aSeeing Ourselves uses a collection of personal comments and essays, writtten 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.
505 _aThe varied perspective, detailed analyses and careful reflections will be invaluable to anyone seeking to understand the meaning and implication of ethnic diversity in Canadian society today. To facilitate classroom discussion, this edition also includes background information and statistics on the Canadian population - immigration trends, ethnic compositions, religious affiliation and other characteristics of Canadians."
