The Portuguese in
Canada
Diasporic Challenges and Adjustment, Second Edition
Edited by Carlos Teixeira and Victor M.P. Da Rosa
Even though the Portuguese are relatively new to Canada,
they have made major contributions to the cultural
mosaic of the country. Containing many new essays, this
second edition of The Portuguese in Canada updates the
work that filled a gap in the scholarly literature of multiculturalism
in Canada.
The contributors come from a variety of disciplines
– anthropology, geography, history, literature,
linguistics, sociology, and urban planning – and are
from Portugal, Canada and the United States. Essays
examine the history of the Portuguese diaspora, the
Portuguese presence in Newfoundland and its fisheries,
language and identity, urban experiences (especially
in Montreal and Toronto), and history and
literature. This second edition of The Portuguese in
Canada conveys the multi-faceted contributions the
Portuguese have made to Canada and considers possible
future growth and development of Portuguese-
Canadian culture and heritage.
Carlos Teixeira is an associate professor in the

Class and Race
Formation in North
America
James W. Russell
UTP Higher Education
In 1521, the largest and
most developed of North
America’s societies, the
Aztec empire, fell to
Spanish invaders. Along
with later European colonizers,
the Spanish built
new societies in which
they occupied the dominant
class positions and
forced Indians, imported
African slaves, and
Asians into subordinate positions. As a direct result
of the conquest, race became a dominant issue in
the class structuring of North America’s societies,
and it has been a dominant issue ever since.
In this far-reaching study, James W. Russell
offers a comparative exploration of how patterns of
class and racial inequality developed in the United
States, Mexico, and Canada from the colonial pasts
to the beginning of NAFTA and beyond.
Class and Race Formation in North America
reveals a continent of diverse historical experiences,
class systems, and ways of thinking about race.
