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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRick Helmes-Hayes\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Waterloo. \u003cb\u003eJames Curtis\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Sociology at the Unviersity of Waterloo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.76 x 8.9 x 5.96 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 1998\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53054007345376,"sku":"9780802078964","price":80.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/5909\/4496\/files\/5-G9RiqiLx9780802078964.webp?v=1781290085","url":"https:\/\/improvedinc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-vertical-mosaic-revisited-paperback","provider":"Improved Improper Input Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
