Municipalities and Multiculturalism
The Canadian model of diversity management is considered a success in the international community, yet the methods by which these policies are adopted by local governments have seldom been studied. 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.

Indivisible : how to forge our differences into a stronger future
\"Denise Hamilton has always believed in the power and promise of a word she learned as a schoolgirl: \"indivisible.\" In her groundbreaking debut, she challenges readers to move beyond current notions of diversity and inclusion to build communities, workplaces, and relationships that live up to that word. She urges us to reexamine long-held beliefs and habits and to dismantle hierarchies that shape our current society. If we want to repair the fraying stitches that bind us together, if we want to build a truly close-knit collective, we cannot settle for our present approach. It's time to recalibrate and identify a goal higher than inclusivity-the goal of indivisibility. As a nationally recognized DEI leader, Hamilton shares accessible, personal stories and offers self-examination questions, intentional action steps, and journal prompts. While the book has a focus on business and leadership, the lessons within can transform our professional and personal lives\"-- Provided by publisher.

Le multiculturalisme latino-américain. Esquisse des enjeux d’um “construit” juridique, politique et idéologique
Through an ecumenical notion such as “multiculturalism”, where different policies concerning different issues have been brought together, the recent Latin American experience is avant-garde in at least two aspects. On the one hand, in response to the need to go beyond the classic Nation-State foundation, Latin American States are attempting, in the name of greater equity and equality, multicultural, multi-ethnic and plurinational “gnosis” of the State. These perspectives are no less dizzying because they are entangled in an “unfinished decoloniality”. On the other hand, it is in a (re)conceptualization of universalism that the intense South American creativity offers new perspectives on the universal potential of rights and the revitalisation of the inseparable links between the politics of recognition and social justice …
À travers une notion oecuménique tel le “multiculturalisme” où diferentes politiques concernant des enjeux différents ont été rassemblées, l’expérience récente latino-américaine se veut avant-gardiste dans au moins deux aspects. À la nécessité, d’une part, de dépasser la classique fondation État-Nation, les États latino-américains tentent, au nom de plus d’équité et d’égalité, des “gnoses” multiculturelle, multiethnique et plurinationale de l’État. Ces perspectives ne donnent pas moins de vertiges car empêtré dans une “décolonialité inachevée”. D’autre part, c’est dans une (re)conceptualisation de l’universalisme que l’intense créativité sud-américaine offre de nouvelles perspectives relativement au potentiel universel des droits et de la revitalisation des liens indissociables entre politique de reconnaissance et justice sociale …
A través de una noción ecuménica como la de “multiculturalismo”, en la que se han reunido diferentes políticas relativas a distintos temas, la reciente experiencia latinoamericana es vanguardista al menos en dos aspectos.

Estas perspectivas no son menos vertiginosas porque están enredadas en una “descolonialidad inacabada”. Por otro lado, es en una (re)conceptualización del universalismo donde la intensa creatividad sudamericana ofrece nuevas perspectivas sobre el potencial universal de los derechos y la revitalización de los vínculos inseparables entre la política de reconocimiento y la justicia social …

Trust us
In Scandinavia, there is separation in the electorate between those who embrace diversity and those who wish for tighter bonds between people and nation. This book focuses on three nationalist populist parties in Scandinavia-the Sweden Democrats, the Progress Party in Norway, and the Danish People's Party. In order to affect domestic politics by addressing this conflict of diversity versus homogeneity, these parties must enter the national parliament while earning the nation's trust. Of the three, the Sweden Democrats have yet to earn the trust of the mainstream, leading to polarized and emotionally driven public debate that raises the question of national identity and what is understood as the common man.

Multiculturalism and religious identity : Canada and India
How, and to what extent, can religion be included within commitments to multiculturalism? Multiculturalism and Religious Identity addresses this question by examining the political recognition and management of religious identity in Canada and India. In multicultural policy, practice, and literature, religion has until recently not been included within broader discussions of multiculturalism, perhaps due to worries of potential for conflict with secularism. This collection undertakes a contemporary analysis of how the Canadian and Indian states each approach religious diversity through social and political policies, as well as how religion and secularism meet both philosophically and politically in contested public space. Although Canada and India have differing political and religious histories - leading to different articulations of multiculturalism, religious diversity, and secularism - both countries share a commitment to ensuring fair treatment for the different religious communities they include. Combining broader theoretical and normative reflections with close case studies, Multiculturalism and Religious Identity leads the way to addressing these timely issues in the Canadian and Indian contexts. --Provided by publisher.

The Principles and Practice of Effective Diversity and Inclusion
The book reframes the discussion from a race-and-gender-based \"business case for diversity\" to explore the conditions which render Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) policies beneficial or divisive. Based on biological, sociological evolutionary principles, and information theory, The Principles and Practice of Effective Diversity and Inclusion suggests a universal framework to apply to nations, religions, militaries, sports, and businesses. The authors analyse the impact of leadership, superordinate goals, organizational design, processes, and culture on the effectiveness or otherwise of EDI.The Principles and Practice of Effective Diversity and Inclusion examines EDI benefits within the context of the environment. Volatile environments tend to advantage diversity, provided appropriate action is taken to obtain its potential benefits. Such action is described, in a business or political setting, as inclusiveness. More stable environments tend to disadvantage diversity, because of the transactional costs of managing inclusiveness.
