Hierarchy and Free Expression in the Fight Against Racism

Identifying Racism: Context of Rancourt’s
Critique—Introduction by Mahdi Darius
Nazemroaya
Why an Introduction by Me?
Criticizing anti-racism has been somewhat of a taboo, even
if the criticism is constructive. If we have taboos restricting dialogue
on important subjects, how can we address and understand the
relevant issues? This book seeks to break these taboos and cross
several barriers in addressing anti-racism. Its author, Denis G.
Rancourt, has not been one to shy away from controversy or
controversial subjects.
In the years that I have known him, controversy after
controversy has followed Denis. The storm clouds have never been
far behind him: his highly popular university activism course, which
he opened to all members of the community; his embrace of critical
pedagogy to democratize university classrooms; his A+ marking
scheme purportedly used as a means to establishing a qualitative
pass/fail marking system in his quantum physics and solid state
mechanics courses; his longstanding dispute over academic freedom
with the bureaucracy at the University of Ottawa, starting with Gilles
G. Patry and then his successor Liberal Party of Canada heavyweight
