CHOICE Review
This interesting collection of thirteen essays explores the concept and practice of citizenship in Canada by scholars from disciplines ranging from education, Native studies, law, psychology, sociology, and statistics. Essays address a variety of perspectives, but they are mostly focused on the issue of education and how to approach the diversity issues that face Canada, one of the most multinational and polyethnic societies in the world. The lead essay outlines a model for approaching the topic, emphasizing conceptual, policy, experiential, and educational issues. The remaining pieces cover such topics as gender, race and class, citizenship virtues, cultural and religious diversity in educational systems, First Nations citizenship, increasing inclusiveness, citizenship education, visible minorities and workers, literacy, and research. The book also includes a valuable appendix, a nine-page matrix, and analysis of models of democratic citizenship. This volume will interest Canadianists and specialists in citizenship, law, and comparative politics. ^BSumming Up: Recommended. General readers (Canadian), graduate students, and above. P.
