July 2015
Print ISBN: 9781551307350
Overview
Pedagogically rich, this new edition examines Canada’s growth and development in a socio-historical framework and 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. Trevor W. Harrison and John W. Friesen investigate economic, political, cultural, and ideological perspectives through three main relationships: Quebec and Canada, Canada and the United States, and Canada and the Aboriginal Nations. Exploring the unique character of modern Canadian society, this is a vibrant introductory text for sociology courses on Canadian society, as well as undergraduate courses in Canadian studies and Canadian history.
