- Summary:
- This collection of articles covers a broad range of topics: the impact of colonialism and its associated discourse on First Nations and other groups of colonized women; racism in the Canadian labor movement; the impact of globalization on women of color; the ways in which the institution of the nuclear family shapes racism; sexism in communities of color; and the response of the Canadian women's movement to creating an anti-racist praxis. The book not only offers exciting new insights into how women of color experience Canadian society, but also provides the instructor a textbook that integrates anti-racist and feminist approaches.
