Book Launch: Daily Struggles - The Deepening Racialization and Feminization of Poverty in Canada
May 30, 2008
This unique book offers a 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, and citizenship issues to other areas of social exclusion such as class, sexuality, and disability.
The text also examines other ways in which racialized people - specifically women - are socially constructed to experience their lives as second-class Canadian citizens.
Edited by: Maria A. Wallis and Siu-ming Kwok
Time: 9:30 am - 11:30 am
Venue: Steelworkers Hall
Location: 25 Cecil St. (near Spadina/Dundas) Toronto, ON
Categories: Social Change, Social Justice, Alternatives
