Download or read book Social Welfare with Indigenous Peoples written by Professor John Dixon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many areas of the world, there has been an earlier indigenous population, which has been conquered by a more recent population group. In Social Welfare with Indigenous Peoples, the editors and contributors examine the treatment of many indigenous populations from five continental areas: Africa (Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe); Australasia, New Zealand; Central and South America (Brazil, Mexico); Europe (Scandinavia, Spain) and North America. They found that, regardless of whether the newer immigrants became the majority population, as in North America, or the minority population, such as in Africa, there were many similarities in how the indigenous peoples were treated and in their current situations. This treatment is examined from many perspectives: political subjugation; negligence; shifting focus of social policy; social and legal discrimination; provision of social services; and ethnic, cultural and political rejuvenation.
Download or read book First Nations written by Vic Satzewich and published by University of Regina Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1993, "First Nations: Race, Class, and Gender Relations "remains unique in offering systematically, from a political economy perspective, an analysis that enables us to understand the diverse realities of Aboriginal people within changing Canadian and global contexts. The book provides an extended analysis of how changing social dynamics, organized particularly around race, class, and gender relations, have shaped the life chances and conditions for Aboriginal people within the structure of Canadian society and its major institutional forms. The authors conclude that prospects for First Nations and Aboriginal people remain uncertain insofar as they are grounded in contradictory social, economic, and cultural, and political realities.
Download or read book Challenging Times written by Constance Backhouse and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1992 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging Times offers a provocative and detailed overview of feminist movements in Canada and the United States. Through a series of essays that offer innovative interpretations and careful, original scholarship, Constance Backhouse, David Flaherty, and the contributing authors compare and contrast the emergence and advancement of feminism in the two countries, taking care to explore both francophone and anglo-phone communities. By allowing the reader to draw comparisons between women's movements in Canada and the United States, Challenging Times shows that certain political and theoretical issues transcend international borders, ebbing and flowing between the two countries symbiotically. Topics discussed include the origins of "second-stage feminism," the strength of the women's movement within academic structures, and the challenges posed by racial, ethnic, and class diversity; violence against women; the promise and limits of legal reform; reproductive technology; and economic discrimination. Readers who are interested in the recent history of the North American women's movement will find answers to many of their questions about the victories, defeats, and fundamental challenges facing modern feminism. Those who have been active in the current wave of feminism, either as central participants or serious critics, will find Challenging Times equally fascinating because it endeavours to provide answers to pressing questions about the nature of feminism, the inter-relationships and tensions between different sectors of the movement, and the prospects for future growth. Many of the contributors to this volume have lived through and personally shaped the unfolding of the rich history of North American feminism. In addition to Backhouse and Flaherty, the contributors are Catharine A. MacKinnon, Greta Hofmann Nemiroff, Monique Bégin, Mariana Valverde, Naomi Black, Marjorie Griffin Cohen, Micheline de Sève, Micheline Dumont, Margrit Eichler, Sara M. Evans, Marianne A. Ferber, Lorraine Greaves, Marjorie Heins, M. Patricia Fernández Kelly, Patricia A. Monture-Okanee, Arun Mukherjee, Jean F. O'Barr, Christine Overall, Glenda Simms, and Jill Vickers.

Download or read book Ethnicity and Culture in Canada written by John W. Berry and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ethnicity, write J.W. Berry and J.A. Laponce in their introduction to this volume, is likely to be to the twenty-first century what class was to the twentieth; that is, a major source of tension and political conflict. However, ethnicity is also increasingly likely to be a source of inspiration and diversification within society." "Because of the rapidly developing importance of ethnicity and culture in Canada, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and the Ministry of Multiculturalism and Citizenship undertook in 1991 a project to review research on the subject. This volume, in nineteen chapters, is the record of the findings. Papers cover such topics as demography, political philosophy, history, anthropology, sociology, media studies, literature, language learning, education, and ethnic and multicultural attitudes." "Looking back to the Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism, mandated in 1963, the editors point out that the terminology has changed radically, and that the evolution from biculturalism to multiculturalism has clarified not only the political agenda but the research agenda as well. An insistent theme recurs throughout this volume: multiculturalism is taken increasingly as being a characteristic of Canadian society as a whole, rather than a concept focused exclusively on new Canadians." "While the Canadian population has always been ethnically diverse, only recently has the diversity been systematically analysed. Ethnic and multicultural studies are remarkably well developed in Canada, the editors conclude. However, they point out one shortcoming more apparent in some fields than others: we often know quite well how the dominant group views a minority, but we often lack knowledge of the reverse attitudes and opinions. Berry and Laponce recommend that we replace one-way mirrors with windows, preferably open windows."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Download or read book The Algonquins written by Daniel Clément and published by Hull, Quebec : Canadian Museum of Civilization. This book was released on 1996 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of articles featuring the Algonquin people. The Algonquin, whose population number 7,000, occupy today the Ottawa valley and the Abitibi-Temiscamingue region in Quebec. Nine authors have written as many essays dealing with different traditional and contemporary issues. Marc Cote begins with an article on Abitibi-Temiscamingue prehistory. He is followed by Maurice Ratelle who discusses the location of the Algonquins from 1534 to 1650. Jacques Frenette then concentrates on the land use of the River Desert Band (Maniwaki). The same band is also the object of another article by Pauline Joly de Lothiniere on historical narratives regarding wampum belts. The XXth century provides the context for all the other articles. Thus Daniel Clement and Noeline Martin present Algonquin legends and customs collected in the 1940s in the Upper Gatineau regions. Sue Roark-Calnek describes a wedding ceremony which took place at Lac-Rapide in 1988. Roger Spielmann examines a bear-dream account recorded in Pikogan in 1985. Christiane Montpetit presents a picture of some Algonquin and Metis residing in Val-d'Or in 1985. A thematic bibliography completes the book and should enable other researchers to further explore several aspects not dealt with in the present group of essays.
