Contemporary Inequalities and Social Justice in Canada offers a fresh and important reframing of long-studied issues in social justice. This volume brings together some of the most astute scholar-activists in Canada for an honest conversation about social justice. - Abigail B. Bakan, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Toronto Readers committed to deepening social justice in all of its forms have been waiting for a book like this. Timely, bold, and intellectually refreshing, Brodie's new collection compels us to engage with brave new worlds of social justice, which borrow from conventional social movement organizing, but also to confront intersecting forms of oppression rooted in racism, colonialism, and ableism that continue to characterize our collective present. - Michael Orsini, University of Ottawa The contributors trace the contours and political fissures of neoliberalism in Canada. In doing so they trouble the dynamics of differential inclusion, exclusion, and eviction in various arenas, and offer insights on existing and changing forms of collective action. This important volume prompts us to engage in a much-needed conversation about the nature and trajectory of a renewed social justice project in the twenty-first century. - Christina Gabriel, Carleton University
