Description
"Historically, Canadians have considered themselves to be more or less free of racial prejudice. Although this perception has been challenged in recent years, it has not been completely dispelled. In Colour-Coded, Constance Backhouse illustrates the tenacious hold that white supremacy had on our legal system in the first half of this century, and underscores the damaging legacy of inequality that continues today."--BOOK JACKET. "Backhouse presents detailed narratives of six court cases, each giving evidence of blatant racism created and enforced through law."--BOOK JACKET.
