Abstract: Several recent historical works have challenged interpretations of the civil rights movement in the United States as a strictly domestic story by considering its connections to anti-racist struggles around the world. Adding a Canadian dimension to this approach, this article considers linkages between African Canadian anti-discrimination activism in the 1950s and early 1960s and African American civil rights organizing. It argues that Canadian anti-discrimination activis… Show more

“…Les thèmes de l'international et des circulations étudiantes ont pourtant donné lieu à diverses recherches chez les historiens, notamment sur les rapports entre les associations étudiantes québécoises et françaises (Lamarre, 2012), sur les congrès internationaux pendant la guerre froide (Neatby, 1997), sur l'action internationale d'organisations chrétiennes comme Pax Romana (Savard, 1992;Bienvenue, 2003), sur l'influence culturelle d'autres pays (Warren, 2008), sur les relations entre anglophones et francophones (Godard, 2009), ou sur la militance autour de problèmes spécifiques tels que la ségrégation raciale (Waters, 2014).

“…Racism, as Audrey Smedley contends, "does not require the presence of empirically determinable cultural differences," as it readily employs narrative and mythos to describe human behaviour and cultural peculiarities. 19 Furthermore, a key component of racial ideologies is the ethnocentric belief within White society that cultural determinants stymied the assimilation of their Native neighbours into mainstream Canadian public life -a conviction which moulded the public's view on Indian drinking for example. 20 In turn, these racialized constructions of Indians influenced the manner in which non-Native business owners, as well as the public, interacted with their Native neighbours.…”
