Analysis/Article on Canadian Settler Politics
A 5 page summation and analysis of an article by Stasiulis and Jhappan (1995) entitled "The fractious politics of a settler society." This view on Canadian history not only explains the conflicts of ethnicity and politics that have often characterized events in Canada, but also predicts that such divisions will only become more severe and exacerbated in the immediate future. Examination of their article suggests that the arguments offered by Stasiulis and Jhappan are sound and based on keen insight into the sociological development and evolution of Canada and its peoples. In 1995, their predictions undoubtedly seemed sound. Ten years later, the diversity that Stasiulis and Jhappan felt posed an insurmountable obstacle to Canadian national unity still exists, but the perspective of Canadians toward this element of their culture has changed. Where once unity seemed impossible, it now seems to be a distinct possibility as Canadians embrace their multicultural background. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
