Immigration and Integration in Canada in the Twenty-first Century |
Looking at successful integration in Canada.
The "two-way street" of successful integration requires commitment from both government institutions and individuals. Immigration and Integration in Canada in the Twenty-first Century looks at the social, cultural, economic, and political integration of newcomers and minorities and establishes measures for assessing the success of integration practices.
The book is divided into two sections. In the first section, authors review the current literature on the topic, using it to develop practical indicators that can be used to measure each group's relative success in integration. The second section addresses the context of various forms of integration, providing detailed information on Canada's integration efforts. Together the two sections present broad overviews of issues related to integration.
Contributors include Christopher G. Anderson (McGill), Chedly Belkhodja (Université de Moncton), John Biles (Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Metropolis Project), Jerome H. Black (McGill), Meyer Burstein (international consultant), Hélène Destrempes (Université de Moncton), John Foote (Policy Research Group, Department of Canadian Heritage), James Frideres (University of Calgary), M.
