Multiculturalism and the History of Canadian Diversity

Richard Day has written on excellent book from a poststructuralist perspective on the Canadian state's discourse of multiculturalism and the ways in which its rise in postmodern society results in both the shift away from the NATION-state (singular) to the MULTINATION-state (plural) and how that tension tends to also call the legitimacy of the state into question on multiple fronts even while it temporarily strengthens it to adapt to the "problem" of diversity. This book will be of interest to those interested in theories of multiculturalism, alternative histories of Canada and the applied philosophy of Nietzche, Foucault and Deleuze and Guattari.
