Migrazioni e comunità: le riflessioni di Charles Taylor e Will Kymlicka

Abstract

The Canadian context is predominant in the work of Charles Taylor and Will Kymlicka and gives it a slant that the European reflection ignores. In the “Old Continent” multiculturalism is about living together in the receiving society and blocks of immigration that do not form cultural communities in the Canadian sense. Moreover in Europe multiculturalism is a theoretical proposal, while in Canada is a policy that has already been applied for decades now. Precisely because they are eminently Canadian, the communities studied by Taylor and Kymlicka do not completely correspond to those analyzed by scholars on the European side of the Atlantic.
