Description
The Stacked Deck, 3e explores the nature and effects of inequality in Canada from an intersectional sociological perspective. After summarizing measurement issues and briefly outlining vulnerable populations, each chapter outlines the barriers or difficulties experienced by specific populations regarding access to these resources-income, housing, education, nutritious food, and safety-and explains how inequalities are created, performed, and perpetuated. By introducing students to key theoretical approaches to these inequalities, and exploring how those inequalities are addressed on an individual, organizational, and government level, students are given a comprehensive grounding in how inequalities are understood and mitigated. Finally, the authors discuss the role of popular discourse in perpetuating inequality and contextualize Canada within the state of global inequality. An extensive pedagogy, grounded examples, and inclusion of the latest Canadian data all ensure that The Stacked Deck, 3e is an accessible, practical, and current introduction to the concept of intersectional social inequalities in Canada.
