{"product_id":"vertical-mosaic-revisited-9780802078964","title":"Vertical Mosaic Revisited","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen \u003cem\u003eThe Vertical Mosaic\u003c\/em\u003e first appeared in 1965, it became an instant classic. Its key message was that Canada was not the classless democracy it fancied itself to be. In fact, Canada was a highly inegalitarian society comprising a 'vertical mosaic' of distinct classes and ethnic groups. This collection of papers by five of Canada's top sociologists subjects John Porter's landmark study to renewed scrutiny and traces the dramatic changes since Porter's time - both in Canadian society and in the agenda of Canadian sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on papers written for a conference held in commemoration of the thirtieth anniversary of \u003cem\u003eThe Vertical Mosaic\u003c\/em\u003e's publication, the five essays revisit the central themes of the original work, including gender and race inequality; citizenship and social justice; and class, power, and ethnicity from the viewpoint of political economy. An introduction by the editors provides a historical biography of Porter and discusses his influence on Canadian sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Curtis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.96w x 0.76d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802078964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHelmes-Hayes, Rick:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Rick Helmes-Hayes is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Waterloo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40136305344627,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":28.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_c66fa7a8-f405-4a14-936c-96cba803c7f8.jpg?v=1654263269","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/vertical-mosaic-revisited-9780802078964","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
