While on the surface the policy and model seemed benign, they were based on false assumptions. The Mosaic Myth deconstructs the theory of the cultural mosaic to expose those flaws and warn how its implementation will be at best useless and at worst harmful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor Domenic Diamante, himself an immigrant from Italy, was skeptical from the start. After studying the evidence, he drafted this book, now forty years ago. Today, with the mosaic model having failed, Diamante brings his work to the public stage in its original form to show what was wrong with the mosaic and why it matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Note to Readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 The Social Integration of Newcomers to Canada\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 The Royal Commission and the Resulting Policy of Multiculturalism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 The Ideology of the Mosaic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 The Assumption of Immigration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Assumptions About Ethnicity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Mainstream Canadians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 The Assumption of Culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Acculturation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 Canadian Mainstream Culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 The Adverse Effects of the Ideology of the Mosaic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dundurn Group Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51138276917591,"sku":"9781459753075","price":16.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781459753075.jpg?v=1751918707","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-mosaic-myth-9781459753075","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
