'This analysis offers an instructive and provocative overview of the evolution of Canadian discussions of immigration issues... While readers will take issue with some elements of its analysis, the book is engagingly wirtten and a distinctive addition to the literature on Canadian multiculturalism.'(Ethnic and Racial Studies) 'This is a challenging book in which historians, political scientists, and social scientists generally will find much to ponder and debate. Although many will find much with which to disagree, or may conclude that its ideological perspective results in some distortion in the interretation of evidence, nonetheless, its fundamental challenge to the very foundation of Canadian cultural policy makes it required reading.'(Canadian Review of Studies in Nationalism)
