Title: Seeing ourselves
First published: 1989
Description: "Completely updated and reorganized, this new edition of 'Seeing ourselves' uses a collection of personal comments and essays, written 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 E. James creates a dialogue with readers to probe the meaning of ethnicity, race, and culture, exploring how these concepts are understood both by individuals and in Canadian society as a whole. He explores how local, national, and international events of the past decade have brought questions about immigration, citizenship, and multiculturalism to the forefront, informing attitudes and influencing policies. The varied perspectives, detailed analyses, and careful reflections presented in 'Seeing ourselves' will be invaluable to anyone seeking to understand the meaning, implications, and complexity of ethnic diversity in Canadian society." --
