Group Politics and Social Movements in Canada

Group Politics and Social Movements in Canada
Group Politics and Social Movements in Canada

Clear map of Canada’s activist political landscape

This is a strong pick if you want to understand how organized groups actually shape Canadian politics beyond elections and parties. What makes it stand out is its broad, grounded coverage, from Quebec nationalism and Aboriginal politics to anti-poverty, disability, and health movements. It feels like a smart, comparative guide that helps you see both the ideals and the real-world wins and limits of activism.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Group Politics and Social Movements in Canada provides a set of case studies covering a wide range of organized group and social movement activity in Canadian politics. It is distinctive for including Quebec nationalism and Aboriginal politics as fields of social movement politics. The volume highlights newer groups that have become more important in recent years, including anti-poverty organizing; race, disability, and lesbian and gay politics; Christian evangelical groups; and health social movements. Contributors draw on theoretical perspectives from political science and sociology to describe the evolution of organized groups and movements and to evaluate their influence on Canadian politics. The diversity of approaches is a strength of the volume. Each chapter offers an overview of the group or movement, along with an account of its main networks and organizations, strategies, goals, successes, and failures.
