This paper summarizes and critiques the article "Sexism, Racism and Canadian Nationalism." In this paper, Ng reviews analyses of the early formation of the Canadian State, and the ways race, gender and class were incorporated by elite classes and state-based institutions on the basis of perceived white superiority. Whiteness is, historically, a paternalistic relation of domination; thus, the State is constantly setting up structural forces (e.g., immigration policy) that constitute sites of struggle and conflict. It is here, in struggle and conflict, Ng argues, that the relations can be understood as historical processes of production and reproduction. 3 pgs. 0 f/c. 1b.
