Edited by University of Calgary professors Howard and Tamara Palmer, this thick volume contains essays that survey 17 ethnic groups in Alberta. Contributors include academics, government staff, and members of the communities themselves. The groups examined range from First Nations peoples to French speakers to Laotian immigrants. Relying on historical and anthropological approaches, the authors discuss matters such as immigration, prejudice, conflict, religion, and settlement patterns, as well as each group’s contributions to the province’s development and present state. Includes endnotes and index.
