Canadian Society in the Twenty-First Century, Fourth Edition by Trevor W. Harrison,John W. Friesen Pdf

Confederation may have established Canada’s nationhood in 1867, but the relationships framing Canada’s modern existence go back much further. Employing a unique socio-historical perspective, Canadian Society in the Twenty-First Century examines three formative relationships that have shaped the country: Canada and Quebec, Canada and the United States, and Canada and Indigenous nations. Now in its fourth edition, this engaging text offers students an overview of Canadian society through a series of connections rather than a collection of statistics. Trevor W. Harrison and John W. Friesen weave together complex aspects of the nation’s economic, political, and socio-cultural development. They guide readers to use this interdisciplinary framework to consider some of the tough questions that Canada is likely to face in adjusting to demands and challenges in the next few decades. Reflecting the most current scholarship in the field, this revised edition features new discussions on issues such as the current crisis of neo-liberal globalization, Canada’s petroleum industry, global warming, the Wet’suwet’en dispute in 2020, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Exploring the unique character of Canada today, this text is a vibrant resource for sociology courses on Canadian society as well as courses in Canadian studies and Canadian history.

Rethinking Society in the 21st Century, Fourth Edition by Kate Bezanson,Michelle Webber Pdf

Rethinking Society in the 21st Century is a critical collection of readings that provides students with a foundational knowledge base in sociology. The fourth edition has been thoroughly updated to include significant Canadian content, with a greater focus on indigeneity, gender, and sexuality and a new section dedicated to social movements, social change, and emerging fields. This anthology introduces students to the fundamental elements of sociology with a balance of classical theory—Marx, Weber, Durkheim, Mills—and more contemporary approaches found in the works of Michel Foucault and Dorothy Smith. Building on this theoretical grounding, the text outlines core concepts in sociology as well as major social institutions such as families, the economy and labour, education, health care, and media. Covering a wide breadth of topics, including chapters on animals, the environment, crime, trans issues, class, ethnicity, and race, this new edition explores critical debates in Canadian society with an emphasis on intersectional approaches to social inequalities. This volume is rich with pedagogical features that promote critical understanding, including detailed introductions that speak to the contextual history of the source material and discussion questions for each section. Uniquely designed for introductory courses, Rethinking Society in the 21st Century is the ideal reader for Canadian students of sociology.

Rethinking Society in the 21st Century by Michelle Webber,Kate Bezanson Pdf

This is a unique collection of thirty-two essays that fill a critical void in introductory sociology. This engaging and profound book weaves together feminist, class-conscious, and anti-racist approaches with the study of introductory sociology for Canadian students. One of the many strengths of this bold collection is theory. Rethinking Society in the 21st Century balances classical theoretical approaches in sociology -- Durkheim, Marx and Mills -- with contemporary approaches, as found in the work of Dorothy Smith and Michel Foucault, among others. Following this exemplary grounding, the book then introduces the foundations of society -- socialisation, social interaction and culture -- as well as the major social institutions of family, the economy, and labour. Crime, moral regulation, and social justice are presented in a progressive light, while population, globalisation, and the new world order complete this well-rounded introduction to Canadian sociology. The second unique feature of this collection is its extensive coverage of inequality, specifically social class, gender, ethnicity, race, age/generation, and sexuality. The third distinguishing aspect is its pronounced emphasis on Canadian content and its incorporation of feminist theory.

Settler by Emma Battell Lowman,Adam J. Barker Pdf

Canada has never had an “Indian problem”— but it does have a Settler problem. But what does it mean to be Settler? And why does it matter? Through an engaging, and sometimes enraging, look at the relationships between Canada and Indigenous nations, Settler: Identity and Colonialism in 21st Century Canada explains what it means to be Settler and argues that accepting this identity is an important first step towards changing those relationships. Being Settler means understanding that Canada is deeply entangled in the violence of colonialism, and that this colonialism and pervasive violence continue to define contemporary political, economic and cultural life in Canada. It also means accepting our responsibility to struggle for change. Settler offers important ways forward — ways to decolonize relationships between Settler Canadians and Indigenous peoples — so that we can find new ways of being on the land, together. This book presents a serious challenge. It offers no easy road, and lets no one off the hook. It will unsettle, but only to help Settler people find a pathway for transformative change, one that prepares us to imagine and move towards just and beneficial relationships with Indigenous nations. And this way forward may mean leaving much of what we know as Canada behind.

Social Welfare in Canada, 4th Edition by Steven Hick,Jackie Stokes Pdf

The ?social safety net? created in Canada after World War II faced serious challenges from the early 1980s onwards. Neoliberal economic policies pursued by successive federal and provincial governments left many groups of people ? especially those in precarious work, women, racialized minorities, older individuals and Indigenous communities ? highly vulnerable and seriously under-protected. Social justice and full equality can come about only if systemic barriers such as these are acknowledged and completely eliminated. About This Edition This edition focuses on the transformative social policies and universal programs that are needed to promote personal and social well-being and ensure full equality of opportunity for all. Social workers at home and abroad are committed to building inclusive communities, promoting participatory democracy, fighting racism, and actively addressing the problems of economic sustainability, and climate change. The social work profession provides an excellent opportunity to join with health care professionals and others to bring about the fundamental changes necessary to ensure full inclusion, equity and social justice, and a safer and prosperous future.

Canadian Society by Daniel Glenday,Ann Duffy Pdf

In the past two decades, Canadians have seen profound changes that mark a crucial turning point in the evolution of Canadian society. Each day, the media provided evidence of the growing tension around pivotal issues such as the need for trade unions in a post-industrial, information society; the violence of racism in urban centers; gender inequalities; poverty; the economic, political, and environmental fall-out from United States governmental policies; and the relationship of Quebec in the Canadian Confederation. This book presents illuminating essays on such issues, focusing primarily on the problems and issues of inequality. Taken as a whole, the essays provide the basis for serious consideration of Canada's future as it faces the hard truths and meets the challenges that will continue to confront Canadian society.
