In so doing, it demonstrates that Marxist socialism is as relevant today as it was in the 1930s, just as social realist novels continue to thrive as a critique of capitalism. Readers will find valuable insights into the social significance, formal innovations, moral sensitivity, aesthetic enrichment, and ideological complexity of Canadian social realist novels.Cultural studiesPolitical economySex (Psychology)Gender expressionCultural Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22040International Political Economyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140Gender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20090Cultural studies.Political economy.Sex (Psychology).Gender expression.Cultural Studies.International Political Economy.Gender Studies.155.33300306339.5Chen John Z.
