A Retrospective of Canadian Ethnic Studies/Études ethniques au Canada

The first issue of Canadian Ethnic Studies/Études ethniques du Canada appeared in 1969, a modest research bulletin of the Research Centre for Canadian Ethnic Studies, edited by Alexander Malycky and Clive Cardinal of the Germanic and Slavic Studies Department at the University of Calgary. It appeared sporadically through the early seventies as several other bulletins, bibliographies, book reviews, and review articles. It then transformed into its current format in 1975, under the co-editorship of Drs. Alexander Malycky and Howard Palmer of the History Department, accompanied by a full editorial board represented from across Canada. For the next four years, the journal often combined one regular issue and another special issue, and presented a wide variety of multidisciplinary perspectives on ethnic groups, plus book and film reviews, ethnic documents and voices. The special issues were various: The Green Paper (1975); Ethnic Folklore (1975); Education and Ethnicity (1976); Ethnic groups in Western Canada (1977); Immigrants in the City (1977); Ethnic Radicals (1978). Often, Howard Palmer provided the introduction of regular issues, and he brought about both a fiscal stability to the journal, and scholarly connection with the wider Canadian Ethnic Studies Association, as well as the wider international scholarly community on ethnicity (See CES, 1991, XIII, no. 3, pp. 5-6). With two new co-editors by 1979, Dr. James Frideres (Sociology) and Anthony Rasporich (History), the journal moved towards the publication of three issues annually—one special and two regular issues. Its new directions taken in conjunction with its parent Canadian Ethnic Studies Association and its biennial national conferences and internal Bulletin, can be found in the editorial (vol. 12, no. 1, 1980) entitled “Some New Wine, Some New Bottles”. Some of the minor changes were already reflected in the title of the Journal, in the French change of the title from “du”
