After decades of extraordinary successes as a multicultural
society, new debates are bubbling to the surface in Canada. The
contributors to this volume examine the conflict between equality
rights, as embedded in the Charter, and multiculturalism as policy
and practice, and ask which charter value should trump which and
under what circumstances? The opening essay deliberately sharpens
the conflict among religion, culture, and equality rights and
proposes to shift some of the existing boundaries. Other
contributors disagree strongly, arguing that this position might
seek to limit freedoms in the name of justice, that the problem is
badly framed, or that silence is a virtue in rebalancing norms.
The contributors not only debate the analytic arguments but infuse
their discussion with their personal experiences, which have
shaped their perspectives on multiculturalism in Canada. This
volume is a highly personal as well as strongly analytic
discussion of multiculturalism in Canada today.
