Short description:
The most comprehensive and accessible exploration of inequality in Canada today from leading Canadian scholars
MoreLong description:
Bringing together twenty-one articles written by experts, Social Inequality in Canada explores the many dimensions of social disadvantage and injustice that exist in this country today. Beginning with a thorough examination of structural inequality issues before moving on to address the wide-ranging impact that social inequality can have, the text presents students with a comprehensive overview of both the persistent patterns of inequality as well as the progress that has been made.
What sets [this text] apart is that it discusses material inequality in contemporary Canada, and it also provides quite a lot of empirical evidence to back up its claims."
-Isha Sharma, Mount Royal University
