Relative Deprivation and Perceived Discrimination Among Quebec’s English-Speaking Minority Communities : ‘Second-Class Citizens’ in a Multi-national Context?
|
| Abstract |
The author investigates the perceptions of disenfranchisement in English-speaking Quebec communities. The author draws upon original data from an online survey conducted in 2017 and tests two hypotheses: (1) the relative deprivation hypothesis and (2) the perceived discrimination hypothesis. The evidence he presented suggests that there exists a state of ‘relative deprivation’ in English-speaking minority communities in Quebec and that a strong majority of Anglo-Quebecers believe that their group faces discrimination often if not most of the time. Contrary to theoretical expectations, however, the author notes that these two factors predict a lower likelihood of Anglo-Quebecer organisational engagement and volunteerism. The author discusses the implications for the accommodation of minorities (within multi-national federal settings) who perceive discrimination but fail to mobilise around their concerns.
