Long description:
Designed for courses dealing with social inequality, this collection of twenty-four carefully selected readings focuses on the way inequality grows where issues of gender, race, and class collide. Written by Canadian experts in their respective fields and organized into six parts, this text reflects the range of spheres in which people experience inequality: family, education, health, justice, labour, and global inequality.
A good overview of Canadian studies on inequality. Students get sound background knowledge on current social problems, research questions, methodological approaches, and a good understanding of the interrelatedness of class, gender, and race.
