Canadian society in the twenty-first century : an historical sociological approach

"Employing a unique socio-historical perspective, Canadian Society examines three formative relationships that have shaped the country: Canada and Quebec, Canada and the United States, and Canada and Indigenous nations. This engaging text offers students an overview of Canadian society that examines Canada as a series of relationships rather than a composition of statistics. Trevor W. Harrison and John W. Friesen explore economic, political, and sociocultural perspectives and how they have shaped modern Canadian society. This interdisciplinary book leads readers to consider some of the tough questions Canada is likely to face in adjusting to demands and challenges in the next few decades. This revised edition features new box inserts and photos; updated statistics and data that reflect the most current scholarship in the field; and new discussions on issues such as the current crisis of neo-liberal globalization, Canada’s petroleum industry, global warming, the Wet’suwet’en dispute in 2020, and the Covid-19 pandemic."--
