| Title |
Is Multiculturalism Really Alive in Canada? A Qualitative Case Study of Chinsese Workers in Montreal’s Chinatown
|
| Abstract |
The author and two colleagues interviewed six ethnically Chinese workers in Montreal's Chinatown district to determine the workers' feelings of acceptance by the city's "Caucasian" majority. The author concludes that from the interviews, it was determined: 1) discrimination is indeed still alive and well in Montreal; 2) these Chinese workers have attempted and in fact still desire to integrate into the greater Montreal community; 3) contrary to popular opinion, Chinatown actually is neither a homogenous nor a cohesive community where culture is definitely not central to its functioning; and finally; 4) Chinatown provides a relative (though not perfect) safeguard for the hostility and discrimination that exists outside, as well as a conductive and amicable environment for its workers.
