Civil Society?
"A Civil Society? surveys the main approaches to the study of group politics in Canada, with a strong comparative perspective. Unique to this short and accessible text is a comprehensive theoretical framework that helps students evaluate with the policy areas surveyed in the book, while also pointing them towards future study. This new edition replaces the introductory discussion of neoliberalism with a discussion of power, political institutions, and identity. Smith emphasizes the gendered and racialized nature of group activity and discusses Indigenous mobilization in Canada. A new chapter discusses the role of social media and its impact on direct action."--
