It describes how human rights violations, discriminating on the basis of race and ethnicity, create and sustain the minority status of diverse racial and ethnic groups across Canada. Discussion of Canada's three major ethnic constituencies analyzes human rights issues of central concern to each: self-determination of aboriginal nations, anti-racism strategies of racial and ethnic immigrant groups, and the national sovereignity of the Franco-Quebecois.
