Abstract
This study examines women of colour, specifically African Canadian nur ses, organizing and resisting racism in nursing in Ontario and Quebec from the late 1970s to the 1990s, from an integrative antiracism persp ective. The author demonstrates that although racism is more visibly s alient in black nurses' subordination, gender and class have historica lly been racialized in nursing, a phenomenon that continues today.
