The mission statements and recruitment campaigns for modern
Canadian universities promote diverse and enlightened communities.
Racism in the Canadian University questions this idea by examining
the ways in which the institutional culture of the academy
privileges Whiteness and Anglo-Eurocentric ways of knowing. Often
denied and dismissed in practice as well as policy, the various
forms of racism still persist in the academy. 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.
With equal emphasis on scholarship and personal perspectives,
Racism in the Canadian University is an important look at how
racial minority faculty and students continue to engage in a daily
struggle for safe, inclusive spaces in classrooms and among peers,
colleagues, and administrators.
