✦ Synopsis

Few words have generated as much debate and controversy as the word race. Through a critical
examination of this complex subject, this anthology brings together essential contributions to
the study of race and racialization. An excellent compilation of classic and contemporary works by
academic and activist writers, Race and Racialization provides historical, comparative, and global
perspectives on race and its intersection with gender, class, ethnicity, indigeneity, and sexuality.
This well-updated second edition includes a new section on state multiculturalism and a
diverse ensemble of Canadian and international contributors who explore such relevant themes as
colonialism, institutional racism, ethnocentrism, privilege, marginalization, and resistance. Featuring
introductions to each piece written by the editors, annotated lists of supplementary readings to
encourage further exploration, and contributions by activists from Idle No More and Black Lives
Matter, this comprehensive and highly accessible anthology is perfect for students studying race,
racism, cultural diversity, identity and belonging, social inequality, and social justice.
