Critique [of Racism and the Canadian State by Daiva K. Stasiulis]

Stasiulis's two-part essay offers a critique of the policies on immigration and racism pursued by the Canadian government during the past decade or so. While the government's multicultural institutions seek to ameliorate racism, its immigration agencies get blamed for intensifying the problem. The latter agencies are better supported than the former which are on the “fringes of state power,” and, according to the author, have little chance of changing immigration policies.
