Many progressive critics, however, dismiss this hope as an illusion that serves to mask ongoing racism and inequality. Foregrounding the capitalist nature of the Canadian state and society, \u003cem\u003eOn the Other Hand\u003c\/em\u003e examines the arguments of a range of progressive critics of Canadian multiculturalism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn exercise in \"critical listening,\" the book aims to both communicate and assess these progressive critiques. It proposes conditions for the intelligibility of social science analysis in general and reflects on the requirements for effective progressive thought and writing. Grounded in a political economy approach, the book argues that capitalism and the capitalist nature of the state must be integrated into our analysis of multiculturalism, immigration policy, and persistent racism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn the Other Hand\u003c\/em\u003e reveals how progressive critiques can identify real limits of multiculturalism: limits of which we must be aware if we are either to endorse them or seek to transcend them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.  Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart I: Setting the Stage\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.
