This study is conducted within the framework of critical multicultural education. Specifically, it focuses on the issue of cultural representation within the high school English curriculum for the province of Ontario. It looks at what changes occur (if any) in the identity-development of ethnic, female students, when they are presented with a novel that may reflect their lived cultural experiences. "Ethnic" is defined here as a first-generation Canadian of non-Western European descent, or as an immigrant to Canada, from a non-Western European country, within the last ten years. The participants' responses to the novel (in the form of Active Reading Notes) are read, and weekly, private interviews are conducted with them, so as to probe those responses more deeply. Also, classroom seminars/discussions about the novel are observed, in order to examine the relationship between the participants' verbal responses to those of their peers..
