| Summary | The author shows how early ideas about cultural diversity in Canada were based upon, and coexisted with, settler colonialism and racism, in spite of the apparent tolerance of a number of immigrant peoples and their cultures. To trace the development of these ideas, the author examines the lives and work of three intellectuals: Watson Kirkconnell, a university professor and translator, Robert England, an immigration expert with Canadian National Railways, and John Murray Gibbon, a publicist for the Canadian Pacific Railway. |
