Description
Demonstrates that race is of a political nature and that there is a lack of material on race in mainstream English Canadian political science. The author proposes a number of factors that have prevented significant research in this area, including dominant elite-focused and colour-blind approaches to the study of politics, and ways to address this disciplinary lag.
