| Descripción: | Abstract: It is often believed that Canada is able to "manage" its diverse society to the extent that it is cited as a model for other countries to follow. The main reason for this perception is that Canada is one of the very few countries to have legislated multiculturalism. Diversity and multiculturalism have, however, become sharply contested issues in Canadian society today as many people perceive them to be a threat to their traditional way of life. Moreover, this paper suggests that multiculturalism has, in fact, failed to control racism against ethno-racial minorities and that a stronger "radical" or "critical" multiculturalism is required for Canada to become an exemplar for other nations. Résumé: Plusieurs croient que le Canada est capable de « gérer » sa société diverse dans la mesure où le pays se voit souvent donner en exemple pour d'autres pays. La raison principale de cette perception est que le Canada est un des très rares pays à avoir passé des lois appuyant le multiculturalisme. La diversité et le multiculturalisme, cependant, sont devenus aujourd'hui des domaines fortement contestés dans la société canadienne, car plusieurs les perçoivent comme menaçant leur mode de vie traditionnel. En outre, cet article suggère que le multiculturalisme s'est avéré incapable de contrôler le racisme envers les minorités ethno-raciales et qu'il faut instaurer un multiculturalisme « radical » ou « critique » plus fort pour que le Canada puisse vraiment mériter d'être donné en exemple. |
