The now notoriousMaclean's article "Too Asian?" from the magazine's 2010 campus issue has sparked a national furor about race in Canadian higher education. Since the founding of the federal policy of multiculturalism, Canadians have prided themselves on their ability to integrate diversity into a broader multicultural environment, but the often heated discussions about race point to fissures in this national project. This collection uses the controversy about theMaclean's article as a flashpoint to interrogate issues about race and representation on Canadian campuses and what it means for students and learning across the country.
