Product Description
Synopsis
Canada has long held international acclaim for its success as a multicultural society and for its ability to manage diversity through a federal constitution. This collection of essays brings together scholars from law, political science, and history to trace the evolution of multiculturalism within the constitution and to explore issues central to modern debates on multicultural law and policy."Multiculturalism and the Canadian Constitution" examines the constitutional, institutional, and legal aspects of two vital dimensions of "difference" in Canada: multiculturalism and federalism, and French-English relations. Contributors situate contemporary legislation and policy within historical and political context. While some debunk myths about the accommodation of diversity, others examine case studies of individuals and policies.Together, they address key components of the evolving Canadian story: the evolution of multiculturalism within constitutional law and policy; the territorial dimension of federalism, which also embraces language policy; and the role that constitutional interpretation by the courts has played to construct and enhance Canada as a self-consciously multicultural state.This wide-ranging collection illustrates that multiculturalism is woven deeply into the fabric of the Canadian constitution. It will be of interest to students and scholars in law, political science, and public policy.
