This book analyzes six case studies of controversial cultural productions/events that have occured in Canada in the last decade. They include the musicals, Show Boat and Miss Saigon; the museum exhibits Into the Heart of Africa (Royal Ontario Museum) and the Barnes Exhibit (Art Gallery of Ontario), the controversy over "The Writing Thru Race Conference, a conference of First Nations writers and writers of colour, and the attempts to acquire a FM license for a Black dance/music station in Metropolitan Toronto Each of these cultural events served as a flash point of controversy and conflict over the issue of racism in cultural production in Canada. The book demonstrates how ethno-racial minorities positioned outside the "imagined community" of Canadian society are engaged in a struggle to find a place on the "representational stage" of Canadian culture.
