Canadian Identity, Aya Fujiwara examines the roles of
Japanese, Ukrainian, and Scottish elites during the transition
of Canadian identity from Anglo-conformity to ethnic pluralism.
By comparing the strategies and discourses used by each

symbols, she reveals how prewar community leaders were driving
forces in the development of multiculturalism policy.
