Résumé

Le multiculturalisme définit l'identité canadienne, tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur de ses frontières, depuis cinquante ans. Les partisans de cette politique louent la célébration de l'unité dans la différence. Les critiques, quant à elles, affirment que cette célébration est superficielle. La politique de multiculturalisme du Canada, disent-ils, masque les rouages du pouvoir dans les processus d'enracinement des inégalités structurelles. En adoptant une approche réflexive, nous—une immigrante métisse arrivée au Canada dans son enfance en 1975 et une Canadienne blanche née à Halifax dans les années 1990—interrogeons nos expériences et notre compréhension du multiculturalisme. En utilisant l'auto-ethnographie collaborative et la poésie retrouvée, nous examinons nos rencontres affectives et nos engagements avec le multiculturalisme des colons. Dans ce processus, nous abordons les questions de (non-)arrivée, d'appartenance, de migration, d'étiquette et d'identité. Ultimement, nous suggérons que la réflexion sur le nœud et le caractère noueux du multiculturalisme peut offrir une voie vers un avenir plus nuancé et compliqué.
