More Description

In this collection, specialists examine, often through a comparative filter, themes related to migrant literatures, cultural diversity and aspects of Canadian state policy. The results of this examination offer an overview of Canadian society, which, as most contemporary societies, must address issues such as identity, human rights, Aboriginal peoples, international relations, multiculturalism, pollution, and language policies. At the same time, they present a view of the new trends, key interests and the cutting edge in Canadian Studies.
Des spécialistes examinent dans ce recueil, souvent sous un angle comparatiste, le phénomène des littératures migrantes, de la diversité culturelle et de certaines des politiques d'État du Canada. Les résultats de leur analyse offrent, à partir de certains éléments constitutifs, une vue d'ensemble de la société canadienne. Ils démontrent comment cette dernière fait face aux questions de l'identité, des droits de la personne, des populations autochtones, du multiculturalisme, des politiques linguistiques, des relations internationales et des questions environnementales. Les nouvelles approches choisies par les différents auteurs font de cet ouvrage un outil important pour les études canadiennes.
