Stewart Order a copy here<https://uofmpress.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f99860e63b6b41a40c735dd…> In School of Racism, Catherine Larochelle exposes how, from its inception, Quebec’s school system has reinforced racist ideologies and colonial domination, and how these pervasive, discriminatory ideas still linger in school texts and programming to this day. Guided by postcolonial, antiracist, and feminist theories and methodologies, Larochelle examines late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century classroom materials used in Quebec’s public and private schools.
