Many progressive critics, however, dismiss this hope as an illusion that serves to mask ongoing racism and inequality. Foregrounding the capitalist nature of the Canadian state and society<em>, On the Other Hand<\/em>&nbsp;examines the arguments of a range of progressive critics of Canadian multiculturalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An exercise in &#8220;critical listening,&#8221; the book aims to both communicate and assess these progressive critiques. It proposes conditions for the intelligibility of social science analysis in general and reflects on the requirements for effective progressive thought and writing. Grounded in a political economy approach, the book argues that capitalism and the capitalist nature of the state must be integrated into our analysis of multiculturalism, immigration policy, and persistent racism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>On the Other Hand<\/em>&nbsp;reveals how progressive critiques can identify real limits of multiculturalism: limits of which we must be aware if we are either to endorse them or seek to transcend them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"about-the-author\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2025\/11\/Phil-Ryan-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Headshot of Phil Ryan\" class=\"wp-image-3492\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;object-fit:cover;width:400px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2025\/11\/Phil-Ryan-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2025\/11\/Phil-Ryan-512x512.jpg 512w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2025\/11\/Phil-Ryan-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2025\/11\/Phil-Ryan-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2025\/11\/Phil-Ryan-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2025\/11\/Phil-Ryan-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2025\/11\/Phil-Ryan-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2025\/11\/Phil-Ryan.jpg 1594w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Phil Ryan<\/strong>&nbsp;is an associate professor in the School of Public Policy and Administration at Carleton University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"register\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Register<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n                    <div class=\"hubspot-form-container\">\n            <script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hsforms.net\/forms\/embed\/v2.js\"><\/script>\n            <script>hbspt.forms.create({region: \"na1\", portalId: \"21564577\", formId: \"0a1c5f16-926b-42e3-bab2-48fdbce5a3cb\"});<\/script>\n        <\/div>\n    \n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":3490,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[55],"cu_event_audience":[],"class_list":["post-3488","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_event_type-author-meets-readers"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2026-01-29 17:30:00","cu_event_end_date":"2026-01-29 19:00:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"off-campus","cu_building":false,"cu_event_meeting_room":"","cu_event_meeting_address_full":{"address":"Irene's Pub Restaurant, Bank Street, Ottawa, ON, Canada","lat":45.400758,"lng":-75.686872,"zoom":14,"place_id":"ChIJVTIUyMAFzkwRme6EURe5oGk","name":"Irene's Pub Restaurant","street_number":885,"street_name":"Bank Street","street_name_short":"Bank St","city":"Ottawa","state":"Ontario","state_short":"ON","post_code":"K1S 3W4","country":"Canada","country_short":"CA"},"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":"","cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":{"title":"Register Now","url":"#register","target":""},"cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/3488","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/61"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/3488\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3745,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/3488\/revisions\/3745"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3488"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=3488"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=3488"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
