In this thoughtful and lucid analysis, framed by their
contention that 'cultural production is one way in which society
gives voice to racism, ' Carol Tator, Frances Henry, and Winston
Matthis examine how six controversial Canadian cultural events have
given rise to a new 'radical' or 'critical' multiculturalism.
Mainstream culture has increasingly become the locus for
challenge by racial minorities. Beginning with the Royal Ontario
Museum's Into the Heart of Africa exhibition, and following through
with discussions of Show Boat, Miss Saigon, the exhibition of the
Barnes Collection at the Art Gallery of Ontario, the 'Writing Thru
Race' conference in Vancouver, and the ill-fated attempts to
acquire a licence for a black/dance radio station in Toronto, the
authors examine manifestations of racism in Canada's cultural
production over the last decade. A 'radical' multiculturalism, they
argue, is difference as a politicized force, and arises whenever
cultural imperialism is challenged.
