    Problematizing Youth Radicalization in Canadian Educational Spaces Running Header: Problematizing Youth Radicalization in Canadian Educational Spaces Problematizing Youth Radicalization in Canadian Educational Spaces Ashley Manuel Department of Integrated Studies in Education McGill University, Montréal August, 2014 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Masters of Arts in Education and Society © Ashley Manuel 2014 Problematizing Youth Radicalization in Canadian Educational Spaces 2 ABSTRACT This research determines whether Canadian educational spaces in the past have had any bearing on the radicalization of youth. As globalization creates tensions, insecurity and confusion for young people in relation to their identity, the radicalization of young Canadians poses a significant threat to maintaining national security. Though radicalization within Canadian educational institutions is far less prevalent than usually assumed in today's security- obsessed society, education's role as a social institution provides an important site to investigate this concern. A qualitative analysis of the educational experiences of Donald Andrews, Marc Lépine and Saad Khalid, each of whom adopted extremist belief systems in Canada during their youth, was conducted to uncover what kind of an influence schools played in their radicalization process. Results indicated that the sentiments of alienation and marginalization that fuelled their radicalization were exacerbated within their school settings. Therefore, the value of critical pedagogy is brought to light in order to demonstrate that by supporting the healthy development and social integration of its young people, educational spaces can indeed be utilized to prevent social isolation, a major driving force in the radicalization of youth.

Jones, B.A. (York University) SUPERVISOR: Professor V. Satzewich NUMBER OF PAGES: v, 220 ii Abstract This thesis is a qualitative study ofNorth American white supremacist organisations, and their Internet web sites. Major issues framing the discussion include identity and racism. The thesis takes into consideration Goffman's concepts of'impression management' and 'presentation ofself as they relate to the web site manifestations of 'white power' groups. The purpose ofthe study is to analyse how a sample ofwhite supremacist groups present themselves and their ideologies in the context ofthe World Wide Web, and what elements they use as a part oftheir 'performances', including text, phraseology, and images. Presentation ofselfintersects with racism in that many modern white supremacists use aspects ofthe 'new racism', 'coded language' and'rearticulation' in the attempt to make their fundamentally racist worldview more palatable to the mainstream. Impression management techniques are employed in a complex manner, in either a 'positive' or 'negative' sense. Used positively, methods may be employed to impress the audience with the 'rationality' ofthe arguments and ideas put forth by the web site creators.

  • Rising Tide of White Supremacy in Canada January 2019
    Rising Tide of White Supremacy in Canada January 2019 1 Rising Tide of White Supremacy in Canada Abstract White Supremacy activism and rhetoric have long been found in Canada. A rampant resurgence of the ideology can be seen in Canada. A historic and modern-day overview of White Supremacy is presented herein. 2 Introduction On Saturday morning, October 27th, 2018, Jewish worshippers attended services at the Tree of Life synagogue located in a historically Jewish suburb of Pittsburgh. A white supremacist named Robert Bowers walked into the synagogue carrying his AR-15 semi- automatic rifle coupled with three handguns. He screamed “All Jews must die,” - murdering 11 people; their ages ranging from 54-97. On the heels of this heinous Pittsburgh incident, it becomes exceedingly important that we, as a community, collectively re-assess and evaluate the implications of the white supremacist movement in Canada. Right-wing extremist ideology and white nationalism is on the rise in Canada. Many perceive this to be a relatively new phenomenon, but truth be known, white supremacists and their alt- right modern day alter-egos have been active for decades. The concept of white racism is not new-fangled and fresh. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) traces far-right violence back to race riots in Nova Scotia in the 1780s, racial segregation in Ontario schools in the 1840s and violence against Chinese and Japanese immigrants at the turn of the 20th century, not to mention generations of discrimination against Indigenous peoples. (Boutilier, 2018) Canada’s right-wing extremist movement is a motley crew of white supremacists, anti- government “sovereigntists” and pro-militia crusaders who, despite being disorganized and prone to booze-fuelled in-fighting, are more extensive and more active than most people think.

  • Chapter 4 WHITE PRIDE WORLDWIDE
    WHITE PRIDE WORLDWIDE Chapter 4 WHITE PRIDE WORLDWIDE THE END OF HIGH school couldn’t come soon enough. After graduation, a friend from my Vancouver College days named Sean and I left for a two-month summer vacation to England and Spain. The trip was completely separate from my skinhead lifestyle, as the two of us never discussed music or politics, but there were still opportunities for me to explore these areas on my own. I arrived in England first and stayed with relatives for a week until Sean arrived. Without delay, I began exploring London in search of any skinhead clothing, vinyl, or iconic souvenirs that would up my status. The first stop was the Last Resort on Petticoat Lane, deep in East London. This store sold everything skinhead related, from Doc Marten boots to Harrington jackets; Crombie, Ben Sherman, and Fred Perry shirts; and T-shirts printed with every skinhead band, image, or logo. The coolest shirt—and one that evaded my search—was the cover for the album Strength Thru Oi! featuring the menacing pose of Nicky Crane. The album cover was a play on the Third Reich’s Strength Through Joy program, which built seaside spas for workers and their families to enjoy ten thousand at a time, and made the resorts accessible via the autobahns and Volkswagens, or “people’s car.” Nicky Crane was greatly feared throughout London. He was deeply involved in the British Movement, an ultra-nationalist racist organization; was co-founder, with Ian Stuart, of Blood & Honour, a white power music network that organized concerts and published 69 THE CURE FOR HATE a magazine; and ran security for Skrewdriver.

  • A Farshlepte Krenk: Antisemitism in Canada
    A farshlepte krenk: Antisemitism in Canada Rich Lafferty (9416113) for Prof. Weinfeld 166-540B July 10, 2000 A farshlepte krenk: Antisemitism in Canada Rich Lafferty Antisemitism has been a problem of varying magnitude in Canada for over a century. While Canadians tend to think of their country as generally good and open, that hasn't always been the case; nor have their fellow Canadians been the tolerant and accepting people that common sense and myth would have one believe. Rather, Canada has an antisemitic legacy which continues in varying forms to this day, and recent efforts to put a halt to it have proven less than effective. Below, I examine Canada's antisemitic legacy and the recent state of Canadian antisemitism, and Canada's reaction to it, and make recommendations as to how to proceed from here. Before examining the patterns of Jew-hatred in Canada, it is worthwhile to look at the patterns of Canadian Jewry. Jews in Canada Canada's Jewish community is small, especially compared to that of our Southern neighbors; but it is a particularly concentrated, established community. As of the 1991 census, 356 315 ethnic or religious Jews called Canada home (Smith 1997, 16); but of those, the majority are concentrated in the Jewish communities of large cities| Toronto, with 120 605, and Montreal, with 101 210, especially (B'nai Brith 1995, 4). The case of Montreal is particularly interesting; as I explain below, Quebec is a particularly important area of Canada regarding antisemitism, yet to speak of `Quebec Jews' is to speak of `Montreal Jews,' as Montreal is home to 90% of the Quebec Jewish population (Smith 1997, 24), and until the separatist threat of the 1970s, Montreal had a larger Jewish population than Toronto (Waller 1998, 3).
