Marginality of Visible Minorities in Canada

The unprecedented movement of people in the 21st century is a central theme in mission circles. With this movement comes suffering and pain for people who must adjust to the reality of living in a new environment, away from the homeland. The experience of people in diaspora is not uniform with communities able to adapt well while others experience discrimination and social exclusion. In Canada, diaspora communities officially termed Visible Minorities bear the brunt of marginalization. As God has revealed his redemptive purpose to the nations through migration and immigration, then it is also imperative for missiologist to consider the role of diaspora marginality within His plan for the nations.

This book is a missiological study of diaspora marginality. It seeks to provide a framework for understanding marginality beyond the social dimension and anchor it on the nature of the Triune God and his mission.
