Title
National Minority and Racialized Minorities: The Case of Pakistanis in Quebec
Abstract
Canada is often characterized as a multicultural country with two official languages associated with two official population groups: the national majority of white, Anglophone Canadians and the national minority of white, Francophone Quebecers. Racialized minorities, including immigrants, are situated as the third node in the construction of Canada as a multicultural society. The author points out that while there is often discussion of the minority/ majority relationship between the national majority and the national minority, or the national majority and racialized minorities, there is much less attention given to the relationship between Quebec and racialized minorities in the province. The author examines the construction of the difference in this relationship through the experiences of Pakistani Muslims living in Montreal.
