Accommodating ethnic diversity is a major challenge for all democratic nations and a topic that has attracted a great deal of attention in the last few decades. Within Quebec; a new approach has emerged that seeks a balance between the needs of minorities and those of the majority.In Interculturalism; sociologist and historian Gérard Bouchard presents his vision of interculturalism as a model for the management of diversity. A pluralist approach which recognizes the existence of a cultural majority whose rights must also be acknowledged; interculturalism constitutes an important alternative to multiculturalism both in Canada and internationally. Written by one of Quebec’s leading public intellectuals and the co-chair of the Bouchard-Taylor Commission on reasonable accommodation; Interculturalism is the first clear and comprehensive statement in English of an approach being discussed around the world.A translation of Bouchard’s award-winning French-language work; L’Interculturalisme: Un point de vue québécois; this book features a new foreword by philosopher Charles Taylor and an afterword by the author written specifically for the English-language edition.

WhiteWashing the South Review from an old friendBy NicholasThis book comes straight out of the communist playbook of finding a divide in country and exploiting that divide for communist revolution. This is the kind of information that these professors like this author are teaching in the colleges. She will continue to receive here nice teacher's salary while furthering the intolerant; liberal; blm; hating of white people agenda.
