Municipalities and Multiculturalism explores the role of the municipality in integrating immigrants and managing the ethno-cultural relations of the city.Throughout the study, Kristin R. Good uses original interviews with close to 100 local leaders of eight municipalities in Toronto and Vancouver, two of Canada's most diverse urban and suburban areas. Grounded by Canada's official multiculturalism policies, she develops a typology of responsiveness to immigrants and ethno-cultural minorities and offers an explanation for policy variations among municipalities.Municipalities and Multiculturalism is an important examination of the differing diversity management methods in Canadian cities, and ultimately contributes to debates concerning the roles that municipal governments should play within Canada's political system.Studies in comparative political economy and public policy.Municipal governmentCanadaMulticulturalismCanadaElectronic books.Municipal governmentMulticulturalism320.8/50971Good Kristin991594MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458216203321Municipalities and multiculturalism2269395UNINA
