Summary

This book explores the impact of unquestioned racial assumptions in the Canadian narrative that have constructed an insider/outsider culture. From that baseline, authors then develop an analytic designed to move beyond racialized othering to a society of genuine inclusivity and universal belonging.

A Space for Race Summary

A Space for Race: Decoding Racism, Multiculturalism, and Post-Colonialism in the Quest for Belonging in Canada and Beyond by Kathy Hogarth (Associate Professor, Associate Professor, Renison University College, University of Waterloo)

A Space for Race engages in a critical examination of some of the major discourses related to original/settler/immigrant and, particularly, racialized belonging. In the course of this examination, the book explores the various themes of racism, multiculturalism, and post-colonialism and the ongoing tensions, challenges, and inconsistencies around race relations embedded within policy and practice in Canada. It traces the history of race relations and ensuing tensions from encounter to modern day and offers a broad, yet nuanced historical sketch of Indigenous and racialized ethnic groups that make up the Canadian landscape. The text also offers rich case examples to draw the reader's attention to the lived experiences of the "Other." As a whole, it engages with history in a particular way that challenges the historical records that has informed our imaginings.

A Space for Race Reviews

This book joins the multidisciplinary challenge to the conventional wisdom that Canada is and has been free of racism. Authors Kathy Hogarth and Wendy Fletcher expose many of the bases for our 'social imaginary' and national identity, while presenting a case for a perspective that will recognize the realities of life for racialized minorities and lead to a better understanding of Canadian society. - James W. St.G. Walker, CM, FRSC, Professor, Department of History, University of Waterloo
