{"product_id":"last-steps-to-freedom-john-boyko-9781896239408","title":"Last Steps to Freedom: The Evolution of Canadian Racism","description":"\u003cp\u003eTo understand Canada one must understand racism, for Canada was born and grew as a racist state. Race riots, segregated schools, racially-based union membership, mass deportations of innocent people, the state sanctioned kidnapping of children, a conscious attempt at cultural genocide and much more have shaped Canada's history. \u003ci\u003eLast Steps to Freedom: The Evolution of Canadian Racism\u003c\/i\u003e encourages Canadians to look truthfully at their past, admit mistakes, atone for crimes and applaud progress. The book is organized chronologically, by region, and by ethnic group. It traces the experiences of Chinese, Ukranian, Jewish, Japanese, Black, and Native Canadians. In each case, early activities and contributions by groups and individuals are explored. People mysteriously absent from our history books such as Viola Desmond, Big Bear, Ivan Pylipiw, and others are celebrated. The systemic racism against which they struggled is explained.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Boyko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1896239404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781896239408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
