Sociology 304

Issues in Modern Sociological Theory

Winter 1997

Second Paper - Due March 13, 1997

Topic

In Multicultural Citizenship, Kymlicka develops a variety of principles that can be used to analyze the situation of ethnic or national minorities. Among these principles are group rights, the importance of culture, ethnocultural identity, nation or people, and integration. Use the approach developed by Kymlicka to write an essay discussing and analyzing one of the following:

• Multiculturalism in Canada.
• Québec and the Québecois, or First Nations.
• One or more immigrant or ethnic groups.
• An ethnic or national minority outside Canada, e.g. Maori, native Hawaiians, Basques.
  

Note

• The paper should be approximately five double-spaced typewritten pages in length.
• Use at least one reference other than Kymlicka in this paper.
• If you feel the approach of Kymlicka is inadequate for the topic you are addressing, make part of your paper a critique of his approach.
