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 ‘not as bad or non-existent.’\" -- Corrie Scott * \u003cem\u003eEthnic and Racial Studies\u003c\/em\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Interrogating the Notion of Crisis in African Canadian Leadership Tamari Kitossa, Brock University, Erica S.
