This foundational text encourages students to consider some of the tough questions Canadian citizens are likely to face in adjusting to the demands and challenges of life in the twenty-first century. Divided into three sections, the text investigates economic, political, cultural, and ideological perspectives through three main relationships: Canada and Quebec, Canada and the United States, and Canada and Indigenous Peoples. Each of these sections deals with large issues impacting all societies in the early 21st century: nationalism, neo-liberalism, and cultural values of social solidarity that persist, despite modernity. The final chapter revisits the importance of socio-historical methods, the roles of state and markets, and sociological theory in a wider context, ending with a look at the sociological implications of the global pandemic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExploring the unique character of modern Canadian society, this is a vibrant introductory resource for sociology courses on Canadian society, as well as undergraduate courses in Canadian studies and Canadian history across North America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFEATURES:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efeatures updated statistics and data that reflect 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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes annotated lists of recommended readings, videos, and websites, critical thinking questions, and a newly added glossary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eintegrates sociological concepts in an accessible and engaging way to help students understand the foundations of contemporary Canadian society\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Canadian Scholars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57297713201496,"sku":"9781773382203","price":76.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781773382203_6dd217da-64e5-4d89-a882-cc990596a502.jpg?v=1779523236","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/canadian-society-in-the-twenty-first-century","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
