Description

Series: a href="http://www.oupcanada.com/tcs/"Themes in Canadian Sociology/a

Children in Canada Today explores the process through which children become members of our society-that is, how, where, when, and with whom children grow up to be socially "functioning" adults. With a strong balance of history and theory, this text offers engaging discussions of socialization and the social policies and practices that affect the lives of children.
