La description

Rethinking Who We Are takes a non-conventional approach to understanding human difference in Canada. Included are analyses on the macro differences among Canadians, such as the disparities produced from unequal treatment under Canadian law, human rights legislation, and health care. Contributors explore the diversities that are often treated in a non-traditional manner on the bases of gender, class, sexuality, disability, and Indigeneity. Ways in which difference is treated in Canada’s legal system, literature, and the media are also explored.
