Ethnic elites and Canadian identity : Japanese, Ukrainians, and Scots, 1919-1971

Fujiwara, Aya 1971- (author.).

Summary: Examines the roles of Japanese, Ukrainian, and Scottish elites during the transition of Canadian identity from Anglo-conformity to ethnic pluralism. By comparing the strategies and discourses used by each community, including rhetoric, myths, collective memories, and symbols, she reveals how prewar community leaders were driving forces in the development of multiculturalism policy.
