Based on studying political systems and the news industry, this book examines the tension between the hierarchical configurations of racial discrimination and the ideals of equality found in Western democracy to explore how and why the reality of racism persists in modern-day democratic societies. Taking Canada as a case study of a multicultural society, it uses a mixed methods approach to present insights from racialized politicians and journalists that explore how they navigate the issues of democracy and racism. Drawing on empirical critical race theory, it addresses crucial knowledge gaps about the political realities of people of color in a democratic nation, and how they perceive these experiences to impact the functioning and progress of democracy. It will therefore appeal to scholars and researchers with interests in race and racism, multiculturalism, democracy, and critical race theory.

Ahmed Al-Rawi is Associate Professor of News, Social Media, and Public Communication at the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University, Canada.
