4.0 out of 5 stars
A crisp clean evaluation of Multicultural in Canada,
By Corey Wall (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Selling illusions: The cult of multiculturalism in Canada (Paperback)
Bissoondath successfully takes the discourse around multiculturalism out of the hands of ideologues and puts it in the context of the individuals experiencing it in day to day living.The intellectual agility displayed in the respectful manner in which Bissoondath examines the delicate issues related to identity while not falling victim to political correctness run amok is truly to be admired. Selling Illusions touches on the impact identity relative judgements have had on longstanding legal tradition, the contradictions hyphenated identities have presented, and the challenges facing majorities. A balanced treatment of both the politically left and right while tearing down the extremists of both ends of the spectrum, allowing for a fair perspective. Bissoondath challenges the ideological labels and concepts that we often apply to the discourse of identity. If you are looking for an intellectual analysis of multiculturalism that has decided not to be captive of supporting Canadian government policy but rather a more critical look at the reality of the state of multiculturalism, this would be a good place start.
