Abstract
What has happened to multiculturalism now, forty plus years after it entered Canadian public cultural and political life? I propose to address this question by asking what the recent Reasonable Accommodation Debate and the Hérouxville Affair1 tell us about the way both Multiculturalism and racism in Canadian society are changing. In doing so, I will approach the issues from the perspectives of historical sociology, transnational feminism and cultural studies.
