Social problems in a diverse society

Kendall, Diana Elizabeth (author.). Thompson, Edward G., 1945- (author.). Nygaard, Vicki Leanne, 1964- (author.).

Summary: "The fourth Canadian edition of Social Problems in a Diverse Society focuses on the significance of racialization and ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, class, ability, and gender in understanding social problems in Canada and around the globe. Throughout the text, people - especially those from marginalized groups--are shown not merely as "victims" of social problems, but also as individual actors with agency who resist discrimination and inequality and seek to bring about change in families, schools, workplaces, and the larger society"--
