How do countries come to view themselves as being multicultural? Us, Them, and Others presents a dynamicnew model for understanding pluralism based on the triangular relationshipbetween three groups the national majority, historically recognizedminorities, and diverse immigrant bodies. Elke Winter's research illustrateshow compromise between unequal groups is renderedmeaningful through confrontation with real or imagined outsiders.Us, Them, and Others sheds new light on the astonishing resilience of Canadianmulticulturalism in the late 1990s, when multicultural policies in othercountries had already come under heavy attack. Winter draws on analyses of English-languagenewspaper discourses and a sociological framework to connect discourses ofpan-Canadian multicultural identity to representations of Quebecoisnationalism, immigrant groups, First Nations, and the United States.Taking inspiration from the Canadian experience, Us, Them, and Others is an enticing examination of national identity and pluralist groupformation in diverse societies.
