ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the help and support we received from various sources in completing this book. Our greatest thank you goes to Paul Rabinovitch of CCB Publishing. Paul had the foresight to see the potential of the manuscript and encouraged us to refine it for publication. He also insisted that we get permission from publishers for the numerous quotations and paraphrases we have used to support our arguments in the manuscript. His editorial comments were a very useful guide in revising the manuscript.

To all the publishers in Canada and the United States who granted us permission to use quotations and paraphrases from their published works, we say a big thank you to you.

We are grateful to Margaret Matthews of Vancouver for allowing us to use her Chocolate in a Vanilla World story to enrich the introduction of the book.

Our sincere gratitude goes to all the racial and ethnic minorities in Canada whose painful struggles and spectacular successes inspired us to consider writing this book.

We also acknowledge the moral support of Mrs. Ernestina Adu-Febiri of Victoria, Mrs. Ellen H. Reynolds of Toronto, Professor Renee Warburton of the University of Victoria, Professor Senyo Adjibolosoo of Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, Professor Joseph Mensah of York University, and Professor Francis Yee of Camosun College in Victoria.
