Description
University of British Columbia Press Electing a Diverse Canada The Representation of Immigrants Minorities and Women 2008 Edition by Caroline Andrew, John Biles, Myer Siemiatycki, Erin Tolley
Electing a Diverse Canada presents the most extensive analysis to date of the electoral representation of immigrants, minorities, and women in Canada. Covering eleven cities, as well as Canada's Parliament, it breaks new ground by assessing the representation of diverse identity groups across multiple levels of government. Electoral representation is an important indicator of a democracy's health, and this book provides both a baseline for future research and an outline of the key challenges facing Canadian democracy.
