Description
ABSTRACT/RESUME: Whereas many scholars continue to offer studies that lay claim to the pervasiveness of "institutional" or "systemic" racism in Canada, a growing body of evidence contests the extent to which the categories of race and/or ethnicity function as categorical determinants of the inequitable distribution of services and resources in Canada. We seek to bring greater clarity to these competing claims by demonstrating how different analytical assumptions in sociological research produce inconsistent knowledge about racism in the country. We enact two ideal-typical folk paradigms to problematize the decoupling of "reductive" and "essentializing" research interventions. We do not attempt to render a verdict on "how much" racism exists, but rather to develop one set of explanations to account for cleavage in the sociological study of racism in Canada. We conclude by encouraging a critically reflexive research agenda able to account for the multidimensional realities of racism in Canada.
