Domenic Diamante

The Mosaic Myth (eBook, ePUB)

The Social Integration of Newcomers to Canada

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Canada's official model for integrating newcomers, the cultural mosaic, is based on false assumptions and fails to meet immigrants' new social and cultural needs.

Canada's government delivered its official policy on multiculturalism in 1971, adopting a model called the cultural mosaic. While on the surface the policy and model seemed benign, they were based on false assumptions. The Mosaic Myth deconstructs the theory of the cultural mosaic to expose those flaws and warn how its implementation will be at best useless and at worst harmful.

Author Domenic Diamante, himself an immigrant from Italy, was skeptical from the start. After studying the evidence, he drafted this book, now forty years ago. Today, with the mosaic model having failed, Diamante brings his work to the public stage in its original form to show what was wrong with the mosaic and why it matters.
