Studies in Canadian Sociology

There have been many dramatic changes in English Canadian sociology since the 1960s. 25 years ago the cultural values of Canadians were believed to be largely responsible for patterns of economic development, politics, and inequality. In the late 1980s these same features of social life are typically explained in terms of the way power is distributed in Canada. Brym and Fox attribute this change to the growing influence of various currents of Marxism and feminism in Canadian sociology. In this book they analyze the Marxist critique of conventional sociology in the 1970s and the feminist critique of Marxist sociology in the 1980s. In addition they document the findings of more than two decades of increasingly careful and sophisticated social resarch in Canada.
