In Race and the City, Shanti Fernando presents an elegant analysis of the mechanisms of political mobilization under systemic racism that draws on case studies, interviews, and a detailed understanding of the racialized legal and sociocultural histories of both the United States and Canada. She argues that while increasing diversity may be a challenge for systemic inclusiveness, it is one that must be met if Canada is to uphold its vision of a truly democratic society.
Industry Reviews
"A fascinating contribution to a dialogue on alternative forms of political participation by Chinese community groups in two multicultural North American cities. Race and the City should be read by students and scholars of urban politics, race relations, political science, and ethnic studies, as well as by those community leaders mobilizing for political change. - Kim Geron, author of Latino Political Power In her exploration of the processes of marginalization and mobilization of the Chinese communities in two multiracial cities, Shanti Fernando charts new ground, critically challenging the way we think about political inclusion. - Myer Siemiatycki, Director, Graduate Program in Immigration and Settlement Studies, Ryerson University"
