Considering whether multiculturalism and pluralism draw on and reinforce racial exclusions and hierarchies of difference, Eva Mackey deconstructs the 'Benevolent Mountie Myth', demonstrating how official 'tolerance' for 'others' functions as an addendum to the invisible, and still dominant, Anglo-Canadian culture, and argues that officially endorsed versions of multiculturalism abduct the cultures of minority groups, pressing them into the service of nation building without promoting genuine respect and autonomy." "Mapping the contradictions and ambiguities in the cultural politics of Canadian identity, The House of Difference opens up new understandings of the operations of 'tolerance' and Western liberalism in a supposedly post-colonial era."--BOOK JACKET Multiculturalism Canada Nationalism Canada Multiculturalisme Canada Nationalisme Canada Multikulturelle Gesellschaft (DE-588)4214151-5 gnd Nationalbewusstsein (DE-588)4041282-9 gnd Kulturpolitik (DE-588)4033581-1 gnd Canada Ethnic relations Canada Relations interethniques Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 gnd BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 IDSBB B410 B410 410RD LIF TC 25 NELB498E1303 IDSBB 100 1- Mackey Eva IDSBB 490 0- Anthropological horizons 23 23 (IDSBB)000944814 279777922 SWISSBIB 143603108
