"Changing Canada" examines political transformations, welfare state restructuring, international boundaries and contexts, the new urban experience, and creative resistance. The authors question dominant ways of thinking and promote alternative ways of understanding and explaining Canadian society and politics that encourage progressive social change. They examine how the evolution of capitalism is producing new types of transformations and new forms of resistance, and show that aspects of the state and the wider society are being contested. They also discuss the often paradoxical or contradictory effects of various social forces, such as the liberating but also constraining features of new communications technologies, new employment norms, and new household forms. The contributors to this book include: Laurie E. Adkin (University of Alberta); Caroline Andrew (University of Ottawa); Pat Armstrong (York University); William Carroll (University of Victoria); Elaine Coburn (Stanford University); William D.Coleman (McMaster University); Mary Cornish (senior partner with Cavalluzzo, Hayes, Shilton, McIntyre & Cornish); Judy Fudge (York University); Christina Gabriel (Carleton University); Sam Gindin (York University); Joyce Green (University of Regina); Eric Helleiner (Trent University); Robert G.
