Description
Canadian Mosaic II is the second volume in a series of popular drama anthologies edited by Aviva Ravel. The plays, written by Canadian playwrights, are set in diverse communities. The works focus on minority cultures, their customs and roots, and their concerns regarding the integration of immigrants into their adopted country.
Supplementary information includes a glossary, biography of the playwright, and details of first and subsequent productions. In addition, the playwright and the editor provide some brief questions for each play, which can be used in class or discussion groups to stimulate debate and a deeper understanding of the themes.
