Resumen
Este artículo examina las limitaciones del multiculturalismo canadiense a través de Finding Edward (2022) de Sheila Murray, argumentando que la novela pone de relieve cómo las narrativas institucionales de la diversidad ocultan las estructuras persistentes de anti-negritud. Si bien el multiculturalismo ha sido a menudo celebrado como un modelo de inclusión, este estudio dialoga con su reevaluación crítica en los estudios afrocanadienses para demostrar cómo la desigualdad racial persiste a pesar de su discurso oficial. Mediante un análisis comparativo de dos protagonistas negros cuyas vidas abarcan desde la década de 1920 hasta la actualidad, el artículo muestra cómo la novela representa tanto formas históricas como contemporáneas de racismo. Asimismo, este análisis sostiene que Finding Edward pone en primer plano prácticas de solidaridad y resistencia relacional que desafían los límites del multiculturalismo, sugiriendo modos alternativos de formación comunitaria. Al poner en diálogo el análisis literario con perspectivas críticas de raza, este artículo contribuye a los debates actuales sobre el multiculturalismo en Canadá, destacando el papel de la ficción contemporánea en la reformulación de estrategias antirracistas.
