What is a Canadian critical race feminism?
As the contributors to this book note, the interventions of
Canadian critical race feminists work to explicitly engage the
Canadian state as a white settler society. The collection examines
Indigenous peoples within the Canadian settler state and Indigenous
women within feminism; the challenges posed by the settler state
for women of colour and Indigenous women; and the possibilities and
limits of an anti-colonial praxis.
Critical race feminism, like critical race theory more broadly,
interrogates questions about race and gender through an
emancipatory lens, posing fundamental questions about the
persistence if not magnification of race and the "colour line" in
the twenty-first century. The writers of these articles ? whether
exploring campus politics around issues of equity, the media's
circulation of ideas about a tolerant multicultural and feminist
Canada, security practices that confine people of colour to spaces
of exception, Indigenous women's navigation of both nationalism and
feminism, Western feminist responses to the War on Terror, or the
new forms of whiteness that persist in ideas about a post-racial
world or in transnational movements for social justice ? insist
that we must study racialized power in all its gender and class
dimensions.
The contributors are all members of Researchers and Academics of
Colour for Equity.
