【摘要】 作为一个移民国家，加拿大吸引了来自世界各地的大批移民。他们带着各自不同的文化来到这片新的国土。各族人民经过长时间的和平共处，学会了如何相互包容和尊重。通过这种方式，一个多元社会在加拿大业已形成。所有公民要求在参加各种文化及社会活动时获得平等和不受歧视。在加拿大经历了盎格鲁化及熔炉政策的失败和战争的洗礼之后，加拿大政府意识到了是时候去引入另一政策来指导其社会的发展。特别是在二十世纪六十年代经历了土著人民民族意识的觉醒，魁北克民族独立运动的风起云涌，和加拿大第三势力力量的增长之后，特鲁多政府将多元文化政策引入加拿大。而在那时，加拿大政府颁布多元文化政策也是一合理之举。受多元文化风潮的影响，许多加拿大作家决定用自己的作品来支持多元文化，证明政府颁布多元文化政策是合理的。玛格丽特·劳伦斯便是其中之一。因此，本人选择其马纳瓦卡小说作为研究目标，从其小说折射加拿大政府颁布多元文化政策这一合理性举措进行一定的研究。 作为加拿大一知名作家，玛格丽特·劳伦斯创作了一系列马纳瓦卡小说来展现加拿大多元社会这一发展历程。本文的引文部分和第一章简要地介绍了加拿大多元社会及劳伦斯的生平著作。在第二章中，本文着重描述了劳伦斯在创作马纳瓦卡小说时的社会背景，而这一社会背景对她产生了极大的影响。此外，劳伦斯不仅是一名作家，而且还是一位多元文化主义者。她的生活经历促使其形成了多元文化的观点，而这一观点常出现在其多数作品之中，特别是马纳瓦卡小说。第三章对此进行了详尽的分析。之更多还原

【Abstract】 As a country of immigration, Canada attracted large numbers of immigrants from all over the world. They arrived in the new land with their own different cultures. Through a long time of coexistence of different ethnic groups, Canadian people learned how to tolerate and respect various ethnic groups. In this way, a diverse society was formed in Canada. All its citizens asked for equality and no prejudice in cultural and social activities. Through the failure of Anglo-Conformity and Melting-pot policies in Canada and the baptism of the Wars, Canadian government realized that it was time to present another policy to guide Canadian society. Especially, the 1960s saw the awakening of ethnic consciousness of the Native people, the tumultuous nationalism of Quebec, and the increasing strength of a "Third Force" in Canada. Under this backdrop, the Trudeau government introduced the multiculturalism policy to Canada. At that time it was rational for the Government to promulgate the policy of multiculturalism. Influenced by the multicultural tide, many Canadian writers decided to write something to support multiculturalism and prove the rationality of the multiculturalism policy issued by the Government. Margaret Laurence is one of these writers. I choose her Manawaka fiction as my study target to do some research on the rationality of Canadian multiculturalism policy.Margaret Laurence, a famous Canadian writer, wrote the Manawaka更多还原
