Book Description

ISBN-10: 0195410793 | ISBN-13: 978-0195410792 | Publication Date: January 12, 1995 | Edition: 2

This book examines key issues of ethnicity and human rights in the context of principles derived from international human rights interests. It describes how human rights violations, discriminating on the basis of race and ethnicity, create and sustain the minority status of diverse racial and ethnic groups across Canada. Discussion of Canada's three major ethnic constituencies analyzes human rights issues of central concern to each: self-determination of aboriginal nations, anti-racism strategies of racial and ethnic immigrant groups, and the national sovereignity of the Franco-Quebecois.
