cord-016256-mjgx31n9	Brayton, Sean	The Migrant Monsters of Multiculturalism in Andrew Currie’s Fido	2012		.txt	text/plain	8027	354	47	Andrew Currie's Fido (2006) , for instance, presents a Canadian satire of suburbia that positions the domesticated zombie as both worker and commodity. By presenting alterity through labour (and vice versa), the film provides an entry point into an historical examination of a conservative multicultural agenda in Canada, which presently imagines migrants as an inexpensive remedy to shortages in domestic work, the service industry and healthcare. As I argue below, Currie's exploited zombie is a provocative symbol of difference, one that resonates with the racial politics of migrant labour and the underside of multiculturalism in Canada. While not conventionally "horrifying", Currie's film offers an alternative space of multicultural critique where the disruptive presence of the zombie accentuates the "hidden" labour provided, for instance, by migrant workers in Canada and the US.	./cache/cord-016256-mjgx31n9.txt	./txt/cord-016256-mjgx31n9.txt
