Synopsis:

As a result of its colonial past, Canadian culture has been shaped by French, British and other European influences; since the second half of the twentieth century, however, large-scale immigration from Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America and the Middle East, as well as economic and cultural globalization and the recognition of the cultural significance of the country's First Nations have transformed Canadian society, and this transformation has affected the European dimension of Canada's cultural heritage, too. The publication addresses the role of this dimension in the collective consciousness of contemporary Canada and the complexities of Canadian-European political and cultural relations at the beginning of the twenty-first century. En raison de son passe colonial, la culture canadienne a ete faconnee par des influences francaises et britanniques ainsi que par d'autres cultures europeennes. Cependant, a partir de la deuxieme moitie du 20e siecle, l'immigration importante de l'Asie, de l'Afrique, des Caraibes, de l'Amerique latine et du Proche-Orient, la globalisation economique et culturelle ainsi que la reconnaissance officielle des Premieres Nations ont transforme la societe canadienne. Cette transformation a egalement eu des consequences sur la dimension europeenne de l'heritage culturel du Canada. Le livre aborde le role de cette dimension dans la conscience collective du Canada contemporain et la complexite des relations politiques et culturelles entre l'Europe et le Canada au debut du 21e siecle.
