In assessing the Canadian government's policies towards refugees and asylum seekers, economic migrants, family-class migrants, temporary foreign workers, and multiculturalism, the authors show the various contradictory practices in effect. \u003ci\u003eContaining Diversity\u003c\/i\u003e reflects on policy changes, analysed alongside the resurgence of right-wing political ideology and the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eContaining Diversity\u003c\/i\u003e highlights the need for a re-imagining of new forms of solidarity that centre migrant and Indigenous justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yasmeen Abu-Laban, Ethel Tungohan, Christina Gabriel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442609044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442609044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 5.91w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2024","brand":"Yasmeen Abu-Laban","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44066218377471,"sku":"9781442609044","price":68.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1ba0919-8c63-4041-b98a-e787613f9e31.jpg?v=1685405974","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/containing-diversity-yasmeen-abu-laban-9781442609044","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
