Multiculturalism In Canada :: Immigration, Ethnic Diversity

Canadian Multi ethnicism, Same as it ever Was? (an essay by Kathleen Hoyos) con After the Second World War ended, Canada was no longer generally composed of its two dominant ethnocultural groups, French and English, but alternatively naturalized by polyethnicity meaning, Canadian culture was made up of many antithetic ethnic groups. Since then, Canada has actively embraced multiculturalism and on 12 July 1988, the Ho map of Commons passed measuring stick C-93, An Act for the preservation and enhancement of multiculturalism in Canada. The Canadian multicultural familiarity has been much portrayed as a celebration of ethnicity where diametric cultural groups share their customs and learn from each other. However, it is recently being rumoured that the multiculturalism stopper is not all it is cut out to be and segregates communities rather than integrate. harmonize to Can adian authors Keith Banting and Will Kymlicka, in much of the world and peculiarly in Europe, there is a widespread perception that multiculturalism has failed (44). In this paper, I examine some recent common issues of concern, especially, racism and discrimi ground, through the literary expression of Canadian playwrights and writers such as George F. Walker, Cecil Foster, and Mordecai Richler. These writers are not meant to work any ethnic group as a whole, but rather try to project a general feeling about the nation in individual ways. I will finally explore the musical theme of how perhaps multiculturalism in Canada is evolving into another state since migratory patterns and the social luck that Canada is facing in the 21st century have changed. Today, the idea of celebrating different ethnicities and customs is no longer as important as celebrating the transcultural or transnational aspects of relations between individuals and groups of immigrants.
