Dangerous domains: Violence against women in Canada (The Nelson crime in Canada series)

Nelson Canada

Examining a wide range of theoretical perspectives, empirical research, and policy responses, Violence Against Women in Canada emphasizes connections among different forms of violence --connections that have too often been ignored or downplayed. Taking a gendered sociological approach, the text reveals how violence against women stems from unequal access to power and resources. While gender is the central focus, the authors also show how intersections of race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality serve to deepen inequalities for particular groups. Comprehensive and concise, this new text explores the evolution of methods to measure violence, the impact of these methods on the social framing of violence issues, the impact on victims, and current policy responses and their effectiveness.

Young Adolescents need and want more than the traditional literacy curriculum of worksheets and rote skills that asks them to think very little and talk even less. Young adolescents have much to share with their teachers and with the world. This book presents an instructional approach that mixes critique and pleasure, allowing middle-level students to read literature they enjoy while they develop critical awareness and address issues of social injustice. The authors help teachers create conditions for their students to critique texts and take pleasure from them by first defining critical terms, explaining the concept of literature circles, and discussing literary theories. They can share strategies that will enable students to explore issues of identity, power, oppression, diversity, and context as they participate in literature circles and read-alouds.
