Title
Débats sur la laïcité et sentiment d'appartenance chez les immigrants racisés au Québec : Mieux comprendre l'impact des « événements focalisateurs »
Abstract
The authors note that some studies suggest that the Parti Québécois' proposed Charter of Values in 2013 and the Coalition Avenir Québec’s Bill 21 in 2019 banning the wearing of religious symbols by public employees in a position of authority have fostered a sense of exclusion among members of religious racialized minorities in the province. However, they point out, there was no study before theirs that compares the sense of belonging to Quebec of religious minorities compared to their attachment to Canada before and after these legislative projects were put on the agenda. Grounded in research on “focusing events” and drawing on data from three surveys conducted in 2012, 2014 and 2019, the authors’ study examines the impact of the secularism debates on racialized immigrants' sense of belonging in Quebec compared to Canada. Their results show that a deficit of belonging to Quebec relative to Canada already existed in 2012, but that it was circumscribed to certain groups, notably those of non-Christian denominations and non-French speakers. Their analyses show that with debates on secularism, the “Quebec-belonging” deficit has now extended to non-religious racialized minorities and Francophones.
