Making the News, Racializing Chinese Canadians

Abstract

A new line of eugenics currently parades as credible academic research in North America. Yet, naturalized conceptions of race, premised on inherited difference, both obscure the processes through which race is defined and redefined in different historical contexts, and ignore the power relations that structure the definition and consequences of constructing "Others." It is thus critical to examine the ongoing social construction of race in North America.
