The outbreak of COVID-19 led to an alarming increase in assaults and discrimination against individuals of Asian descent in many countries, including Canada. A shadow pandemic of racism affected mental health, interracial relationships, and the representation of Asians in a variety of ways. Anti-Asian Racism and the COVID-19 Pandemic in Canada is a comprehensive exploration of the underlying causes, implications, and responses to this resurgence of racism. While the earlier epidemics of SARS and H1N1 led to an increase in anti-Asian sentiment, the racism prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic was particularly severe. The "yellow peril" trope that originated in late-nineteenth-century public discourse was redeployed to defame Asians as an existential threat to the West. Even after the pandemic, Asian Canadians have continued to face COVID-19-related socio-economic and racial discrimination. The multidisciplinary contributors to this book employ historical analysis and empirical research to examine the rise in anti-Asian racism and to explore the strategies Asian communities have used to defend themselves and build solidarity. This work is essential to supporting the goals of combatting racial injustice and building an equitable society.

This book examines the discourse around the intricate economic, political, and ideological struggles underlying Canadian fuel extractivism. Focusing on the two contending discourse coalitions formed by supporters and opponents of British Columbia’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry, the book explores the ongoing debates around the issue.

The book’s in-depth investigation of the BC LNG controversy identifies progressive extractivism as an increasingly popular policy/discursive paradigm adopted by fossil fuel advocates to legitimize unconventional fossil fuels in an era of intensifying climate crisis. It also highlights the importance of debunking the misleading “jobs versus the environment” dichotomy in mobilizing public opposition to carbon-intensive economic growth.

This deeply nuanced look at energy discourse in public policy will have resonance for scholars and students working in the areas of environmental communication, rhetoric, discourse analysis, public policy, and climate change rhetoric.

This book draws on recent theoretical advances in energy humanities and environmental communication to examine the evolution of pro-bitumen discourses in Canada since the mid-2010s. It argues that the promotion of Alberta bitumen rests on three discursive pillars: petro-prosperity, petroleum-nationalism, and extractive populism. To explicate the meanings and implications of each pillar, three prominent public campaigns are examined: Enbridge's "Life Takes Energy" campaign in 2014, the Alberta New Democratic Party (NDP) government's "Keep Canada Working" campaign in 2018, and the Alberta United Conservative Party (UCP) government’s "Public Inquiry into Anti-Alberta Energy Campaigns" between 2019 and 2021. The book’s analysis will offer academics and practitioners insights into the worrisome convergence of extractive rhetoric and right-wing populism, as well as suggestions for effectively communicating the necessity and urgency of a just transition toward decarbonization.
