Краткое описание:
More than any other city-region in the world, including metropolises like New York, Los Angeles and London, Greater Toronto has become a testing ground for urban hyper-diversity. Almost half the region’s 6 million residents were born outside Canada, and many more come from First Nations and racialized communities. Yet recent research has shown that Toronto, like many large cities, is turning into a sprawling collection of homogenous enclaves.Toronto is in many ways ahead of the curve as far as urban diversity goes, By situating Toronto in a broader context and then using it as a kind of case study for the future of urban diversity, we're aiming to make the collection relevant well beyond this city. In a recent article in Toronto Life, 'The Skin I'm In,' writer Desmond Cole described his experiences being carded in Toronto, which prompted discussion of carding practices in the city. It received widespread attention and was picked up by NPR in the US. A book by Cole on race in Canada is forthcoming from Doubleday Canada in 2017; Subdivided will complement this work by presenting other voices on this topic.
