Whiteness Fractured examines the many ways in which whiteness is
conceptualized today and how it is understood to operate and to
effect social relationships. Exploring the intersections between
whiteness, social class, ethnicity and psychosocial phenomena, this
book is framed by the question of how whiteness works and what it
does. With attention to central concepts and the history of
whiteness, it explains the four ways in which whiteness works. In
its examination of the outward and inward fractures of whiteness,
the book sheds light on both its connections with social class and
ethnicity and with the 'epistemology of ignorance' and the
psychoanalytic. Representing the long career of whiteness on the
one hand and investigating its expansion into new areas on the
other, Whiteness Fractured reflects the growing maturity of
critical whiteness studies. It undertakes a critical analysis of
approaches to whiteness and proposes new directions for future
action and enquiry. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the
social sciences with interests in race and ethnicity,
intersectionality, colonialism and post-colonialism, and cultural
studies.

The 2016 US presidential election exposed rising xenophobic and
nationalist sentiment within the United States and other democratic
countries. As populist movements grow, democratic freedoms erode.
We Resist demonstrates that the things we often take for granted -
safety, family, employment, health, a promising future - are under
attack, and we must fight to preserve these resources before it's
too late. We are currently witnessing the dismantlement of social
programs, growing disinterest in international cooperation, and the
devaluation of evidence-based knowledge. This disturbing shift in
politics is leading to increased national security measures,
violations to basic human rights, and widening social and economic
inequalities. The rise of far-right populism brings with it
intolerance of ethnic, sexual, and all other minority groups, and a
rejection of democratic society. We Resist gathers the compelling
perspectives of scholars and activists who are deeply embedded
within political and community struggles, who participate in policy
decisions, and who are engaged in research that advances those
struggles. An essential and timely book, We Resist confronts the
problems we face as a human community and impels a cross-sectoral
movement to defend our rights and revitalize the common good.
The culmination of four years of ethnographic research at the Roma
Community Centre in Toronto, Writing the Roma is the first book to
provide an overview of the identities, origins, history and
treatment of Roma refugees. Cynthia Levine-Rasky traces the
historical and cultural roots of the Roma in Europe, through their
genocide in the Holocaust, their persecution in Eastern Europe in
the post-Communist era, to their settlement as refugees in Canada.
What emerges is a book that challenges the stereotypes surrounding
this non-territorial nation while exposing the ways that Canadian
immigration policies have affected Roma populations.
