505 _a"The census lists more than one hundred ethnicities in the Canadian population, making Canada unique even among modern, multiethnic nations. Understanding Diversity is intended for students of ethnic and race relations at universities and colleges. Its aim is to encourage Canadians to think about ethnicity and race in a more systematic, analytical manner -- one that will lead to a better understanding of the place of ethnicity in Canada and in our global society."
