"Race" and ethnicity in Canada : a critical introduction

Summary: "A Themes in Canadian Sociology series best-seller, now in its fourth edition, "Race"and Ethnicity in Canada engages students in a critical examination of the complex and often paradoxical patterns of "race" and ethnic relations in Canada. Beginning with an overview of the major theoretical approaches in the field (with new content drawn from postcolonial studies and critical race theory), the book goes on to explore French/English relations, Aboriginal/non-Aboriginal relations, immigration, and multiculturalism in Canada and a wider global context. Fully revised and updated, the fourth edition includes expanded theoretical coverage, updated treatment of transnationalism and diaspora issues, current Canadian coverage of issues (including Canada's response to the Syrian refugee crisis, the introduction of the express entry system of immigration, Aboriginal issues, Quebec interculturalism, and racism on the internet), and brand-new Case Study boxes that highlight the experiences of people living with the realities of race and ethnicity. Concise, yet comprehensive, "Race" and Ethnicity in Canada is a thoroughly accessible introduction that enables students to thoughtfully analyse the ways in which we continue to both shape and challenge our understandings of "race" and ethnicity."--
