Publisher's Synopsis
"Earth continues to travel in a slightly elliptical orbit around the sun, but some years ago the world started veering to the right."
So observes Robert Brym in his introduction to this fifth volume of the proceedings of the S.D. Clark Symposium on the Future of Canadian Society. The aim of the collection is to examine anti-Black racism, Islamophobia, and antisemitism in Canada today, particularly in the context of the rise of right-wing populist movements in Canada and around the world. Abdolmohammad Kazemipur, Akwasi Owusu-Bempah and Carl E. James, Morton Weinfeld, Neda Maghbouleh, and Brym himself draw on the latest research to examine the patterns of prejudice and discrimination that continue to persist in Canadian society.
Racism, Islamophobia, Antisemitism and the Future of Canadian Society gathers together the revised proceedings of the fifth S.D. Clark Symposium on the Future of Canadian Society. The Symposium, hosted by the Department of Sociology of the University of Toronto, honours the memory of S.D. Clark, the department's first chair and one of Canada's leading sociologists of the twentieth century.
