"Multiculturalism is regarded as a key feature of Canada's national identity. Yet despite an increasingly diverse population, racialized Canadians are systematically excluded from full participation in society through personal and structural forms of racism and discrimination. Race and Anti-Racism in Canada provides readers with a critical examination of how racism permeates Canadian society and articulates the complex ways to bring about equity and inclusion both individual and systemically."--

Examines the presuppositions of beliefs regarding race & racism from a theoretical & substantive perspective. From a rational standpoint, racism involves both propositions & dispositions. The first proposition, deemed racialism, suggests that there are heritable differences among humans that permit racial categorization, & that these races share specific traits & characteristics absent in other races. It is argued that racialism alone is not necessarily dangerous, but that this proposition has been the basis of false & threatening beliefs regarding race. The distinction is made between extrinsic racism, which claims that racial differences are correlated with morally relevant distinctions, & intrinsic racism, which proposes that racial differences are intrinsically morally significant. The disposition of racism is described as the tendency to use racial difference as a basis for policies or beliefs that discriminate against certain races. Based on the fact that racialism's link between race & personal characteristics is inherently false (based on genetic & theoretical research), it is concluded that both forms of racism are false due to their theoretical reliance on racialism.

This book explores the key issues of racism, anti-racism and identity in British football. It relates the history of black players in the game, analyses the racism they have experienced, and evaluates the efficacy of anti-racist campaigns. The efficacy of the policing of racism is also assessed. The nationalism and xenophobia evident in much of the media's coverage of major tournaments is highlighted in the context of the way that English, Scottish and Welsh identities are constructed within British football.

Racism and Anti-Racism in Probation analyses the complex processes by which black people are treated differentially by the probation service. Drawing on detailed ethnographic material, David Denney shows how conventions used by probation officers can discriminate against black people.

An eminent social analyst examines the way racism works-and how it can be overcome.Racism: It is social, not "natural"; it is general, not "personal"; and it is tragically effective. In a remarkable meditation on a subject at the troubled center of American life, Albert Memmi investigates racism as social pathology-a cultural disease that prevails because it allows one segment of society to empower itself at the expense of another. By turns historical, sociological, and autobiographical, Racism moves beyond individual prejudice and taste to engage the broader questions of collective behavior a
