- Description
- Description of how racism, sexism, and violence interweave within the foundations of Canadian society. Using examples from the lives of immigrant girls and women of colour, Jiwani considers the way accepted definitions of race and gender shape and influence public consciousness. She argues that media representations of violence serve the status quo and fail to tell the whole story about racialized and gendered inequalities.
