As societies become more ethnically diverse, people from different cultures are increasingly coming into contact with each other, resulting in ever greater opportunities for racism to manifest itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this work, Edith Samuel examines the educational experiences of South Asian students and faculty members from the perspective of 'integrative antiracism' - the study of how the dynamics of social difference are mediated in people's daily lives. Specifically, she analyses perceptions of and responses to racism in four critical areas: faculty-student relationships, peer group interactions, curriculum, and the psychosocial dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntiracism scholars maintain that racism is widespread on Canadian university campuses. Drawing on the available literature and extensive interviews with students and faculty, Samuel looks at both overt and covert forms of racism, as well as structural racism, that results in discrimination in admissions and employment. She also looks at race, class, gender, history, and culture and how these interlocking systems produce unique experiences of racism for South Asians in academe. Through the exploration of the intricate patterns of South Asians' assimilation into university life, \u003ci\u003eIntegrative Antiracism\u003c\/i\u003e identifies the numerous barriers racial minorities encounter and suggests a variety of approaches to fostering a more equitable education system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eForeword by George Dei\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003e Introduction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Theory and Method: Antiracism, Racism, and Ethnographic Interviews\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Adjusting to Canada \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Faculty–Student Relationships\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Peer Group Interaction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Curriculum and Minority Faculty Members\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The Psychosocial Dimension\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Challenges and Conclusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cem\u003eNotes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBibliography \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAuthor Index\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSubject Index\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52542579704088,"sku":"9780802039446","price":56.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/integrative-antiracism-south-asians-in-canadian-academe-hardback-9780802039446","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
