Join Morton Weinfeld for the launch of the new edition of Like Everyone else but Different: The paradoxical success of Canadian Jews. The event will be held in RM 738 of the Stephen Leacock Building, McGill University.

The striking feature of the Canadian Jewish community is its diversity. While this diversity can lead to cases of internal conflict, it also offers opportunities for adaptation and survival. Seventeen years after its first publication, this new edition of Like Everyone Else but Different provides definitive updates that blend research studies, survey and census data, newspaper accounts and articles, and the author's personal observations and experiences to provide an informative, provocative, and fascinating account of Jewish life and multiculturalism in contemporary Canada.

Morton Weinfeld is professor of sociology and holds the chair in Canadian Ethnic Studies at McGill University.
