Inequality in Canada : a reader on the intersections of gender, race, and class

Summary: "Designed for courses dealing with social inequality and social stratification, this collection of 22 critical essays focuses attention on the way inequality manifests itself where issues of gender, race, and class intersect. It is organized in five parts that reflect the range of spheres in which people in Canada experience inequality: family, education, health, justice, and labour. Among the topical issues the contributors address are gay and lesbian families, residential schools, health care and aging, poverty law, and labour and globalization."--BOOK JACKET.
