Reviews

Sunera Thobani, Department of Asian Studies, University of British Columbia :
“Black Racialization and Resistance at an Elite University presents an innovative and highly insightful study of how processes of racialization are infused with racial microaggressions to ‘produce’ Blackness within the Canadian university. By showing how both the commonality and the diversity within Black experiences are given shape in the ‘bubble of whiteness’ that is McGill, rosalind hampton demonstrates how self-serving is the claim of Canadian universities that ‘diversity’ is a recent phenomenon that the institution is only now learning how to negotiate.”

Barrington Walker, Department of History, Wilfrid Laurier University:
“Connecting freighted colonial legacies in Montreal with a long history of the university as a site of struggle, Black Racialization and Resistance at an Elite University uses an astonishing breadth of texts across fields including critical postcolonial studies, race studies, history, sociology, Scottish studies, and studies in education.”
