Some aspects of past immigration to Canada are examined. The author notes that "many young Canadians today believe that Canada has always been a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic country. This is true only in so far as it was formerly divided on fairly tight geographical lines between French and British-derived populations, with a small minority of American Indians and Inuit eskimoes. However, during the nineteenth century and first decades of this century it was regarded as comprising a nation of Caucasoids, or more precisely a nation of French and of British settlers, willingly accepting only immigrants from Northwestern Europe ethnically affiliated with those two main groups."
期刊介绍:
The quarterly Journal of Social, Political and Economic Studies (ISSN 0193-5941), which has been published regularly since 1976, is a peer-reviewed academic journal devoted to scholarly papers which present in depth information on contemporary issues of primarily international interest. The emphasis is on factual information rather than purely theoretical or historical papers, although it welcomes an historical approach to contemporary situations where this serves to clarify the causal background to present day problems.
