Daily Struggles: The Deepening Racialization and Feminization of Poverty in CanadaSiu-ming Kwok, Maria A. Wallis Canadian Scholars’ Press, 2008 - 307 pages "Daily Struggles offers a unique, critical perspective on poverty by highlighting gender and race analyses simultaneously. Unlike previously published Canadian books in this field, this book connects human rights, political economy perspectives, and citizenship issues to other areas of social exclusion." "This new book is ideally suited for a wide variety of sociology, social work, and political science courses in the areas of social inequality and stratification, poverty, social policy and welfare, gender, race and ethnicity, and anti-racism."--BOOK JACKET. |
