The Invisible Empire

Résumé du livre

With the increasing social and political attention paid to racism in our society, the author enters the fray with a unique and provocative look at 'the' issue facing Canadians in the twenty-first century. As she investigates such events as the shocking connection of Grant Bristow to CSIS and the Heritage Front; the internal battle for the women's shelter Nellie's; the cultural war that erupted over the Royal Ontario Museum's controversial "Into the Heart of Africa" exhibit and the furore created by the staging of Showboat in North York, an unsavoury picture of Canada's covert attitudes and assumptions begins to emerge. Racism is not just about extremists: it's also about people just like ourselves.
