The dark side of the nation

by Himani Bannerji

These feminist Marxist and anti-racist essays speak to important political issues. Though they begin from experiences of non-white people living in Canada, they provide a critical theoretical perspective capable of exploring similar issues in other Western and Third World countries. This reading of difference includes and extends beyond the cultural and the discursive into political economy, state, and ideology. It cuts through the conventional paradigms of current debates on multiculturalism.
