Abstract:

Figuring the Plural is an examination of ethnocultural, or ethnically/culturally specific, arts organizations in Canada and the United States. As our societies rapidly diversify and we seek to negotiate our increasingly complex national identities, these organizations possess enormous potential to assist in this process for they serve as cultural advocates, cultural interpreters, facilitators of cross-cultural understanding and communication, keepers of ethnic tradition, and/or sites where prejudice is exposed and challenged.
