Multiculturalism in Canada
Multiculturalism is often thought to be defined by its commitment to diversity, inclusivity, sensitivity, and tolerance, but these established values sometimes require contrary practices of homogenization, exclusion, insensitivity, and intolerance. Multiculturalism in Canada clarifies what multiculturalism is by relating it to more basic principles of equality, freedom, recognition, authenticity, and openness. Forbes places both official Canadian multiculturalism and Quebec's semi-official interculturalism in their historical and constitutional setting, examines their relations to liberal democratic core values, and outlines a variety of practical measures that would make Canada a more open country and a better illustration of what a commitment to egalitarian cultural pluralism now means. Consisting of a series of connected essays-including careful considerations of the works of Will Kymlicka and Charles Taylor-this book provides the first comprehensive account of multiculturalism in Canada.
Il était une fois des usines
Au cours des deux dernières décennies, un véritable tsunami de délocalisations et de fermetures d’usines a déferlé sur le Québec. Dans cet essai, l’auteur évoque à grands traits cette désindustrialisation systémique qui a supprimé près de 200 000 emplois manufacturiers permanents. Malgré la gravité de la situation, l’auteur est convaincu de la nécessité et de la faisabilité d’un redressement industriel; il croit fermement qu’aujourd’hui encore, l’industrie demeure la locomotive de la croissance économique d’une société avancée, dynamique et prospère. En définitive, il invite les Québécois à relever le grand défi d’une renaissance industrielle qui stimulerait durablement la croissance économique, stopperait la montée du chômage et assurerait la création vigoureuse d’emplois de qualité.
