Ethno-cultural groups and visible minorities in Canadian politics : the question of access / Kathy Megyery, editor.: Z1-1989/2-41-7E-PDF

"These studies reveal the nature of the underrepresentation of ethnocultural groups, and visible minorities in particular, in both the House of Commons and political parties. These studies also underline the progress that has been made in recent years, attributable in large part to the greater acceptance of ethnic pluralism in Canadian society and to the desire of members of ethno-cultural communities to integrate into the Canadian political system"--Preface, page xviii.
