Summary:[...]if the latter is true, is it a problem that Canada should "worry about, or is it a positive phenomenon that contributes to the multicultural mosaic" of Canada? [...]this is a book as much about the successes as failures of the multiculturalist path Canada has chosen as a nation by investigating one part of its religious landscape. Most serve to assist members in coping with a new and unfamiliar environment, functioning for example as community service centres, a "refuge" for the "downtrodden," as the author of Pujabi Sikhs describes it, places where ethnic culture is preserved and passed down, mutual economic and emotional assistance is offered, and even where the battle for social justice is waged and political power is mobilized.
