Blacks and whites : the Nova Scotia race relations experience : [manuscript]

Item consists of a typed draft manuscript written by Don Clairmont and Fred Wien in August 1976, titled "Blacks and Whites: The Nova Scotia Race Relations Experience".

"In this paper, we have outlined the establishment of race relations patterns in Nova Scotia and the characteristics, constraints and possibilities for change in several phases up to the present. Particularly since the end of the Second World War, the nature of the debate, the actors and the rules of the game have changed but basic patterns of inequality in the socio-economic realm persist. Although Nova Scotia has declared the decade between 1973-1983 as 'a decade for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination' and its government is committed to 'a cultural mosaic that doesn't leave anyone out' it still looks like a long hard road before equality in the mosaic is achieved."
