Racism in the Canadian University

This collection, informed by critical theory, personal experience, and empirical research, scrutinizes both historical and contemporary manifestations of racism in Canadian academic institutions, finding in these communities a deep rift between how racism is imagined and how it is lived.

Joy Mighty, Director of the Centre for Teaching and Learning at Queen's University :

'Racism in the Canadian University exposes and critiques the prevalence of institutional racism in Canadian universities and the equally prevalent denial of its existence. Anti-racist scholars in general and racialized academics in particular will welcome the authenticity of the narratives and the soundness of the scholarship. This book should be required reading for all university administrators, from heads of departments to university presidents.'
