| Description: |
While poverty persists as a major social problem, Canadians are increasingly framing their concerns over poverty and its consequences as issues of human rights and citizenship. This volume examines the ideas and practices of human rights, citizenship, legislation, and institution-building that are crucial to addressing poverty in this country. |
| Synopsis: |
Recent years have seen the retrenchment of Canadian social programsand the restructuring of the welfare state along neo-liberal lines.Social programs at both the federal and the provincial levels have beencut back, eliminated, or recast in exclusionary and punitive forms.Poverty: Rights, Social Citizenship, and Legal Activismresponds to these changes by examining the ideas and practices of humanrights, citizenship, legislation, and institution-building that arecrucial to addressing poverty in this country.The essays in this volume investigate current trends in social,political, and legal anti-poverty activism. They challenge prevailingassumptions about the role of governments and the methods ofaccountability in the field of social and economic justice. Throughtheir analysis of rights advocacy and the interconnectedness of law andpolitics, the contributors also demonstrate that the fight for socialand economic justice is vibrant and of critical importance. |
