African Canadian Leadership Continuity, Transition, and Transformation

"The contributors bring a wide range of critical political theories to bear on this topic, but also, activist and community-based literatures and experiences, historical research, feminism and sexual politics. As a result, this book offers a deep context to the questions under consideration and the scope of the research presented is quite significant. Although the United States often looms large in any exploration of Canadian life, this book is decidedly and refreshingly Canadian centric with a nonetheless transnational bent, making it a distinct and important contribution. As the editors convincingly argue, Canadian racist practices are forever measured against our American neighbors, often deemed ‘not as bad or non-existent.’"
