This collection of essays considers the representations of minorities in the cultural space of Canada: the national news media; advertising, school and university curricula; and museums, art and entertainment. In this mirror reflecting Canada to itself and the world, how are the visible mnorities seen? The contibutors - writers, educators, filmmakers, and journalists - argue that these minorities are often excluded or marginalized, and their images are often distorted or trivialized, though bening negelct, ignorance, or outright or systemic racism. The youth - the future of this country - are undoubtedly influenced by this treatment. At the same time Canada is professed as a tolerant, accommodating nation. These essays, therefore, also report on and examine the paths taken by groups and individials for extending the artisitc space and the story of Canada, and propose ways for achieving fairer and more englihtened representations of the diversity that makes up this nation.
