2.2097 Issues in Canadian Ethnic Relations Anti-Racist Pedagogy and Multiculturalism: What a Difference "Difference" Makes.
This paper is concerned with explaining the differences between anti-racist pedagogy and multiculturalism as specifically distinct political engagements with issues of race, racism, and education. Anti-racist pedagogy is explicitly Marxist-feminist where as multiculturalism is specifically founded on liberal ideologies about democracy, meritocracy, and rendering "difference" as a plurality that ultimately makes no distinctions about difference, but assumes "we" are all part of the human "race". This paper is especially concerned with Davies & Guppy's (1998) quantitative analysis of education in Canada, and their assertion that their data represents empirical evidence that counters anti-racism's claims of "institutionalized racism." 5 pgs. 20 f/c. 6b.2097 Canadian Ethnic Relations.doc$44.75Canadian Studies 2098 Sociology: Chapter Annotation.Knowles, C. (1996) "Racism, Biography, and Psychiatry." Vered Amit-Talai and Caroline Knowles (eds) Re-Situating Identities: The Politics of Race, Ethnicity, and Culture. Peterborough: Broadview Press, pp. 47-67. Knowles' article focuses on two dimensions of racism - the administrative and the existential. Specifically, Knowles' positions these dimensions as counter-narratives, where the administrative is explicitly constructing racism, and where the existential, or biographical explicitly challenges and contradicts the racist assumptions put forward by the particular administrative power. In this case that Knowles examines, she is looking at how psychiatry, as an administering authority, constructs racism in cooperation with judicial and educational structures, and how one man's biographical account of experiences with racism are contrary to the authoritative construction of events. 5 pgs. 3 f/c. 1
