TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Ghosts in the Canadian multicultural machine: A tale of the absent presence of Black people JO - Journal of Black studies A1 - Brown, Yvonne SP - 374 EP - 387 VL - 38 IS - 3 N2 - The author, who is an African Canadian, was a beneficiary of the 1967 Immigration and Manpower Act. She embraced the Canadian Multicultural Policy and subsequent Multiculturalism Act and its programs as means to validate the identities and cultures of Black people. She tells a tale of her disillusionment and how multiculturalism has concealed the brutal histories of enslavement, colonization, and empire. She uses the metaphor of ghosts to describe her project of directed self-study to understand the subjugation of knowledge about the colonized Other. She offers implications for educational institutions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved). (journal abstract)
