However, this obscures Quebec’s underlying racial dynamics and embedded forms of white ignorance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe scholars in this book demonstrate how racism, and willful ignorance of it, are produced and maintained through social, political, and institutional processes inseparable from Quebec's history as a settler colonial society. The denial of racism in Quebec, this book argues, is bound up with the denial of its colonial origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across the social sciences, contributors reframe Quebec as not an exception but a continuance of the settler colonial logic that birthed the Canadian state. Chapters show how forms of ignorance and racial violence — anti-Blackness, Islamophobia, and the erasure of Indigenous Peoples — are co-constitutive of Quebec's nation-building project, shaping social representations, education systems, national narratives, public policies, and legal frameworks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fernwood Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66194655445341,"sku":null,"price":27.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781773638928.jpg?v=1791807583","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/race-and-the-politics-of-ignorance-in-quebec","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
