UM Press book release : School of Racism: A Canadian History, 1830–1915 By Catherine Larochelle Translated
by S.E. Stewart
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.
