Introduction to Sociology : A Canadian Focus

A host of contributors integrate sociological perspectives on a variety of topics with a distinct Canadian focus in this newest edition of Hewitt, White and Teevan’s Introduction to Sociology.  Praised for its clear language and consistent tone, the ninth edition boasts updated content on values and norms, new material on the study of First Nations in Canada, and increased coverage of Canadian immigration, racial discrimination in Canada and the Quebec separatist movement.  The chapter on Deviance has been completely rewritten by new contributor Kevin Haggerty of the University of Alberta, and an all-new chapter on Education has been added.  Chapters on Religion and Organizations and Work have also been heavily revised.  Pedagogical content has been improved with a new visually stimulating two-colour interior, new social trends boxes, and new end-of-chapter materials including key terms references, review and critical thinking questions, annotated suggested readings, and suggested websites.
