Power & Resistance

This book examines the social inequalities in Canada and how individuals and communities resist them. Power & Resistance offers insights into creating a just society.

In Power & Resistance, the authors delve into the complex interplay of various social issues that shape Canadian society. They explore critical topics such as poverty, globalization, and the violence that often exists between genders. The book also addresses youth politics, the barriers faced by Aboriginal communities in economic development, and the privatization of universities. Through a diverse array of analytical perspectives, the contributors aim to shed light on the multifaceted nature of these challenges.

Each contributor to Power & Resistance shares a common belief that the social, economic, and political dilemmas faced by Canadians are deeply intertwined with persistent social inequalities. These inequalities not only affect individual lives but also have broader implications for society as a whole. The authors emphasize the importance of understanding these issues in order to foster meaningful change and promote social justice.

The fourth edition of this work introduces new chapters that cover contemporary topics such as youth politics, the impact of technology on work, and immigration. By including these discussions, Power & Resistance remains relevant and thought-provoking, encouraging readers to consider how Canadians can collectively and individually resist inequalities and strive for a more equitable society.
