Canada's Francophone Minority Communities
Author: Michael D. Behiels
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773526303
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
By the late 1950s francophone and Acadian minority communities outside Quebec were in rapid decline. Demographic, economic, socio-cultural, institutional, and political factors that had sustained both the concept and the reality of French Canada for well over a century were being eliminated or transformed. Canada's Francophone Minority Communities shows how French-speaking minorities won the right to full and unfettered school governance with the backing of the Charter, the Supreme Court, and the Canadian government.Convinced that education was one of the essential keys to the renewal and growth of their communities, francophone organizations and leaders lobbied for constitutional entrenchment of official bilingualism and a mandated Charter right to education in their own language, including the right to governance over their own schools and school boards - a significant Canadian innovation. From those efforts a new, vigorous francophone pan-Canadian national community emerged, one capable of ensuring the survival of its constituents communities well into the twenty-first century.

The Illusion of Difference
Author: Jeffrey G. Reitz
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Assimilation (Sociology).
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
In distinguishing themselves from Americans, Canadians have long used the language of metaphor to describe their society as a mosaic and the United States as a melting pot. To undertake this difficult challenge of comparing the cultural myths and realities of Canada and the United States, the C.D. Howe Institute drew on the expertise of two of Canada's most esteemed sociologists, Jeffrey G. Reitz and Raymond Breton, both of whom are professors of sociology at the University of Toronto. Their study, the result of an exhaustive review of the available public opinion data, helps bring a picture of Canadians and Americans into clearer focus. Topics covered are: Canadian beliefs about the mosaic and the melting pot; attitudes toward the retention of minority cultures; the extent of cultural retention; and prejudice and discrimination.
