Book SynopsisContemporary Inequalities and Social Justice in Canada examines the changing contours of inequality and social justice in contemporary Canada. Approaching questions of social justice from the perspectives of race, youth, precarious workers, Indigenous peoples, and the LGBTQ community, the contributors emphasize different ways of thinking about and addressing contemporary social inequalities and insecurities.
Trade Review"Contemporary Inequalities and Social Justice in Canada is a refreshing burst of expertise and erudition. There is little doubt that it will help students, scholars, and activists chart a new course toward dismantling ineffective structures of old, creating instead the kind of transformative ‘political imaginaries’ that are worthy of the best of our labors." -- Maggie Quirt, York University *
