"Abortion and contraception are often understood as the central aspect of reproductive justice. But there is much more involved, from bodily autonomy, to freedom from sexual violence, to freedom to define the size and make up of our families, and to the right to parent the children we choose to have in safe and sustainable communities. While Canada has constitutionally affirmed aspects of reproductive liberation, it also has a colonial history of reproductive oppression and practices ongoing carceral policies that criminalize disproportionately Indigenous and racialized people, threatening their access to reproductive justice. This illustrated, accessible book will tell the empowering stories behind the struggles for reproductive justice in Canada, celebrating past wins and revealing an abolitionist path forward."--

"Power and Resistance debunks the dominant neoliberal, hyper-individualist approach to society's problems, which claims that people are poor because they are lazy, environmental crises stem from individuals' consumption habits, and Indigenous Peoples are oppressed because they refuse to assimilate. We argue that it is social inequality and oppression that are the underlying causes of "social problems." Certain groups have the power to push through agendas that benefit them but harm other groups and society as a whole. Solving these issues is not about individual action: it requires changing the very structures of our society. In this volume, we dig down to the roots of these "social problems" through case studies and contemporary examples, offering effective paths towards social justice. The seventh edition of Power and Resistance includes new chapters on anti-Black racism in schools, Indigenous Peoples and mental health, food security and sovereignty, and work in the gig economy."--
