Publisher's Synopsis
The subject of ethno-cultural minorities and their integration is looming increasingly large in Quebec. Accordingly, the papers presented at the Trier colloquium are devoted to immigration and the minorities in this Canadian province. Their concern is with the multiple links constituting inter-ethnic relations there. The range of topics extends from linguistic matters to literary, historical and political aspects of immigration and minority groups. The subjects investigated in the context of immigration are not limited to allophone groups but also include the two founder peoples. The multidisciplinary approach of the volume casts an interesting light on some intriguing facets of Quebec's ethnic diversity.
