Summary:
"How do we make sense of the
social
problems that continue to plague
Canadian
society? Our understanding of
issues
such as poverty, racism, violence, homophobia, crime and pollution stems from our view of how society is structured. From the dominant neoliberal perspective,
social
problems arise from individuals making poor choices. From a
critical
perspective, however, these
social
troubles are caused by structural
social
inequalities. Disparities in economic,
social
and political
power
- that is, relations of
power
based on class, race, gender and sexual orientation - are the central structural element of capitalist, patriarchal, colonialist societies. The contributors to
Power
and
Resistance
use this
critical
perspective to explore
Canadian
social
issues
such as poverty, colonialism, homophobia, violence against women, climate change and so on. This sixth edition adds chapters on the corporatization of higher education, the lethal impacts of colonialism, democracy, the
social
determinants of health, drug policy and sexual violence on campus." -- From publisher.
