Sheila Wilmot outlines the long history of systemic racism in Canada from an anti-racist feminist perspective, assesses the various anti-racist organizations in Canada, and explores how anti-racist activism could build a better movement. This is a concise, intimate account of a white, feminist, anti-racist activist’s participation in various anti-racist movements, yet the book also appeals to an academic audience through her use of feminist, anti-racist and post-colonial discourse in her examination of the issue of race relations. This is a valuable tool for both novice and experienced anti-racist activists, and for a general or academic reader. It is developed out of a course taught by Sheila Wilmot in Toronto. Racism in Canada is inextricably linked with capitalism, class, and sexism, and the state promotes it with its laws that systemically exploit Aboriginals and people of colour, and privilege whites, despite its claim that Canada is a multicultural and democratic nation. Using concrete examples, Wilmot illustrates her argument that white progressives, who aim to unite with people of colour against racist oppression, must examine and possibly challenge their personal, political, and theoretical ideologies and acknowledge their privileged societal position, if they are to translate anti-racist ideas into effective action, and furthermore, help educate other white folks into taking up the cause in an informed manner. White leftists must cast aside political sectarianism and engage with Aboriginals and people of colour as equals when they assist with organizing constructive anti-racist organizations and movements. The balance between taking responsibility and taking direction is oftentimes tenuous at best, Wilmot suggests, but it is essential that in the fight against white oppression, white leftists come to the table in solidarity, rather than come as silent aides, or the opposite - come and paternalistically and patronizingly appropriate the organization. Wilmot devotes a significant section of her book to highlighting and evaluating various anti-racist organizations and anti-racist educational resources in Canada, and she expounds on the various academic approaches to anti-racism: this portion of the book is a valuable tool for both novice and experienced anti-racist activists, and for a general or academic reader.
