Description
Through in-depth qualitative research with African Canadians in three Canadian cities—Calgary, Toronto, and Halifax—this study explores how experiences of racism, when combined with other social and economic factors, affect the health and well-being of this segment of the country's population. With a special interest in how racial stereotyping impacts black men and boys, the book presents stories of racism and violence and describes how reactions to racism differ across a range of social and economic variables. In addition, the discussion rejects the notion that black communities are homogeneous and provides a detailed examination of three distinct communities: Caribbean, immigrant African, and Canadian black. - from Amzon
