Social Inequality in Canada cover

Bringing together twenty-one articles written by experts, Social Inequality in Canada explores the many dimensions of social disadvantage and injustice that exist in this country today. Beginning with a thorough examination of structural inequality issues before moving on to address the wide-ranging impact that social inequality can have, the text presents students with a comprehensive overview of both the persistent patterns of inequality as well as the progress that has been made.

What sets [this text] apart is that it discusses material inequality in contemporary Canada, and it also provides quite a lot of empirical evidence to back up its claims." -Isha Sharma, Mount Royal University
[This] textbook provides a comprehensive picture of social inequality in Canada. Context allows for the exploration of sociological understandings of social inequality paired with concrete and current examples of how it persists in society." -Jennifer Shea, Memorial University
