As a result, this book offers a deep context to the questions under consideration and the scope of the research presented is quite significant. Although the United States often looms large in any exploration of Canadian life, this book is decidedly and refreshingly Canadian centric with a nonetheless transnational bent, making it a distinct and important contribution. As the editors convincingly argue, Canadian racist practices are forever measured against our American neighbors, often deemed \u0026amp;#x2018;not as bad or non-existent.\u0026amp;#x2019;\" \u003c\/p\u003e - Corrie Scott (\u003cem\u003eEthnic and Racial Studies\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eChallenging the myth of African Canadian leadership \"in crisis,\" this book opens a broad vista of inquiry into the many and dynamic ways leadership practices occur in Black Canadian communities.
