xiv, 377 pages ; 24 cm An anthropological study, based on racist publications, archival material, and interviews with leaders and members of Canadian right-wing organizations. Argues that despite Canada's reputation for tolerance, racism is institutionalized and widespread. Emphasizes the religious basis of racism: the belief that Christianity condemns Blacks to inferiority and identifies Jews with the devil. Distinguishes between the radical right, committed racists and antisemites prepared to use violence, and the less violent but extremely conservative "fringe right". Gives a detailed account of the growth of right-wing organizations from the 1920s through the fascist and Nazi organizations (especially in Quebec) of the 1930s, and the revival since the 1960s. Focuses on the Edmund Burke Society, the Western Guard, the Nationalist Party, and the Ku Klux Klan. Discusses, also, the trials of Ernst Zundel and Jim Keegstra for inciting to racial hatred, the fight against racism, attitudes of the Black and Jewish communities, and prospects for government action.
