POSC 3102U – Race and Racism in Political Culture
Political culture is understood as the common values, norms and traditions of a particular country or place. Political culture in terms of ‘race’ and racism can reinforce ideas of ‘race’ and perpetuate racism through colonialism and racialization of BIPOC subjects. This course analyzes the political, economic and cultural development of ‘race’ and ‘racism’ in political discourse. The theoretical grounding of ‘race’ and critical race theory will be explored from an anti-racist perspective in a specifically Canadian context. The issues of immigration and multiculturalism, which have traditionally formed much of the Canadian political discourse surrounding race, will be expanded to look at intersectional analysis of race with gender, sexuality, class, disability and age. The focus of this discussion is Canadian but international examples will also be used to provide some perspective.
