Over the past 15 years, the citizenship debate in political and social theory has undergone an extraordinary renaissance. To date, much of the writing on citizenship, within and beyond Canada, has been oriented toward the development of theory, or has concentrated on contemporary issues and examples. This collection of essays adopts a different approach by contextualizing and historicizing the citizenship debate, through studies of various aspects of the rise of social citizenship in Canada. Focusing on the formative years from the late 19th through mid-20th century, contributors examine how emerging discourse and practices in diverse areas of Canadian social life created a widely engaged, but often deeply contested, vision of the new Canadian citizen. The original essays examine key developments in the fields of welfare, justice, health, childhood, family, immigration, education, labour, media, popular culture and recreation, highlighting the contradictory nature of Canadian citizenship. The implications of these projects for the daily lives of Canadians, their identities, and the forms of resistance that they mounted, are central themes. Contributing authors situate their historical accounts in both public and private domains, their analyses emphasizing the mutual permeability of state and civil(ian) life. These diverse investigations reveal that while Canadian citizenship conveys crucial images of identity, security, and participatory democracy within the ongoing project of nation building, it is also interlaced with the projects of a hierarchical social structure and exclusionary political order. This collection explores the origins and evolution of Canadian citizenship in historical context. It also introduces the more general dilemmas and debates in social history and political theory that inevitably inform these inquiries.

The relationship between power and illness is the subject of limited discussion despite it being one of the most important issues in health-related policies and services. In an effort to correct this, Contesting Illness engages critically with processes through which the meanings and effects of illness shape and are shaped by specific sets of practices. Featuring original contributions by researchers working in a number of disciplines, this collection examines intersections of power, contestation, and illness with the aid of various critical theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches. The contributors explore experiences of illness, diagnosis, and treatment, and analyse wider discursive and policy contexts within which people become ill and engage with health care systems. Though each essay is unique in its approach, they are linked together by a shared focus on contestation as a conceptual tool in considering the relationship between power and illness. Rather than focus on a single example, the contributors address different contested illnesses (chronic fatigue syndrome and environmental illness, for instance) as well as the contested dimensions of illnesses that are accepted as legitimate such as cancer and autism. Contesting Illness offers valuable insights into the assumptions, practices, and interactions that shape illness in the twenty-first century. Contributors Jan Angus Pia H.

Adult Learning Citizenship And Community Voices written by Pam Coare and has been published by Niace this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2003 with Education categories.

This topical book examines the connections between theory and practice in citizenship learning. Focusing on the experiences and views of a range of citizens, many on the margins of society, the contributors explore the significance and impact of particular forms of educational policies and provision in peoples' lives and the role adult learning can play in the development of citizenship. Organised into three sections, the book provides a theoretical overview and a framework for understanding the links between learning and citizenship. This is followed by an exploration of the voices of different citizens as they seek to develop their lives and learning. The final section brings together theory and practice and identifies ten 'Propositions for Practice' in developing adult learning for citizenship, primarily in community contexts.

Indigenous peoples are increasingly uniting around a commonality of concerns, needs and ambitions. In both New Zealand and Canada, these politics challenge the colonial structures that social and political systems are built upon. Both countries have accomplished much in their management of indigenous issues. New Zealand has begun to right historical wrongs through treaty settlements and to implement bicultural strategies. Canada is experimenting with self-government for aboriginal peoples. Yet there are still many issues to be addresses, with recent statistics showing indigenous peoples in bother these countries struggling to balance functioning in everyday life with preserving their cultures. This book casts light on the constitutional politics in both countries that are redefining the relationship of indigenous peoples to the state. A unique and timely discussion.

"In Finding Families, Finding Ourselves historian Veronica Strong-Boag examines the realities behind idealized pictures of adoptive families rescuing needy children, or adoptees fitting seamlessly into new families. The first comprehensive examination of the history of adoption in Canada, Finding Families, Finding Ourselves draws on a broad range of sources - from legal cases, sociological studies, and government policies to fiction and first-hand accounts." "Strong-Boag argues that adoption, far from being a marginal aspect of Canadian history, goes to the heart of who we are as individuals and as a national community. With its complicated dance of obligations and rights, insiders and outsiders, acceptance and rejection, adoption reflects the ways in which we - as families and as communities - have consciously and unconsciously remade ourselves in the course of creating our future."--BOOK JACKET.

Sites of Power: A Concise History of Ontario focuses on the disparate groups of people who inhabited Ontario for the past 11,000 or so years. Peter Baskerville underscores how studying power relations can bring to light the contingent and variable history of a people in a given geographic region. The author's premise that "power begets resistance" indicates the two-sided nature of the historical record. Sites of Power is as much about the visions of 'Ontario' held by those who resisted structures of power as it is about the more "official" visions held by those in power.

Regulating Lives written by John McLaren and has been published by University of British Columbia Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2002 with History categories.

Regulating Lives looks at the roles of the state, society, the individual, and the law in the regulation of public and private life. In nine original essays, the authors apply the concepts of social control, moral regulation, and governmentality, as developed by influential social theorists such as Stanley Cohen, Michel Foucault, and Philip Corrigan, to the specific conditions that prevailed in early British Columbia. Along a span of nearly a century and a half – and across a diversity of topics including intermarriage, mental disorder, prohibition, incest, children’s aid, venereal disease, prostitution, and compulsory education – the essays collectively affirm the power of these ideas to clarify the intricate relations that developed, and continue to exist, between British Columbians and the political, social, and cultural order that surrounds them. In the process, they reveal the boundless potential of the west coast province as a site for such historical expeditions into the terrain of the state, society, the individual, and the law. This collection will interest scholars, researchers, practitioners, and students across a wide range of contexts, including law, history, sociology, criminology, women’s studies, Native studies, social work, and political science.
