Misrecognized Materialists tells a different story. Beginning with the Rowell-Sirois hearings of the Great Depression and concluding with the national unity wars of the late 1980s and early 1990s, Matt James details how groups representing marginalized constituencies -- women, working-class people, and ethnocultural minorities -- were able to use the Canadian constitutional arena to pursue traditionally neglected aspirations and concerns. With concrete illustrations and case studies, James questions the common tendency to interpret recognition struggles as departures from traditional "materialist" priorities such as economic security and personal safety. Ultimately, he argues that such materialist priorities were and are, in fact, at the heart of the fight for recognition for many marginalized groups. A book with provocative implications for students and scholars of social movements and identity politics, Misrecognized Materialists offers a fresh and important perspective on Canada's constitutional struggles over civic symbolism and identity. 606 $aMinorities$xLegal status, laws, etc$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aConstitutional history$zCanada 606 $aSocial movements$xPolitical aspects$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aMinorities$xLegal status, laws, etc.$xHistory 615 0$aConstitutional history 615 0$aSocial movements$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 676 $a342.7108/7 700 $aJames$b Matt$f1965-$01521200 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780514703321 996 $aMisrecognized materialists$93760155 997 $aUNINA
