Canada's Economic Apartheid
The Social Exclusion of Racialized Groups in the New Century

Grace-Edward Galabuzi

Canada's Economic Apartheid calls attention to the growing racialization of
the gap between rich and poor, which, despite the dire implications for
Canadian society, is proceeding with minimal public and policy attention.
This book challenges some common myths about the economic performance of
Canada's racialized communities. These myths are used to deflect public
concern and to mask the growing social crisis. Dr. Galabuzi points to the
role of historical patterns of systemic racial discrimination as essential
in understanding the persistent over-representation of racialized groups in
low paying occupations.

While Canada embraces globalization and romanticizes cultural diversity,
there are persistent expressions of xenophobia and racial marginalization
that suggest a continuing political and cultural attachment to the concept
of a white, settled society.

Canada's racialized groups are set to become one-fifth of the national
population in the early 21st century, yet they continue to confront racial
discrimination. Despite comparable average educational attainment, the
labour market experience of these marginalized groups is one of barriers to
access, limited mobility, and discrimination in the workplace. The
resulting social crisis is documented in Canada's Economic Apartheid.

This ground-breaking new book is an ideal text for a wide variety of
sociology courses that deal with race, racism, anti-racism, ethnicity,
ethnic relations, power, identity, cultural diversity, minority groups,
belonging, nationalism, the Canadian state, inequality, and social justice.
