"Race" and ethnicity in Canada : a critical introduction Vic Satzewich ; Nikolaos Liodakis.
The first edition of 'Race' and ethnicity in Canada was widely praised for its accessibility, organization, and well-balanced historical and contemporary coverage of 'race' and ethnic relations. In this extensively updated second edition, authors Vic Satzewich and Nikolas Liodakis build on these strengths through their exploration of some of the most important issues that effect Canadaians today, including immigration, multiculturalism, racism, and Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal relations.
