Social programs at both the federal and the provincial levels have been cut back, eliminated, or recast in exclusionary and punitive forms. Poverty: Rights, Social Citizenship, and Legal Activism responds to these changes by examining the ideas and practices of human rights, citizenship, legislation, and institution-building that are crucial to addressing poverty in this country. The essays in this volume investigate current trends in social, political, and legal anti-poverty activism. They challenge prevailing assumptions about the role of governments and the methods of accountability in the field of social and economic justice. Through their analysis of rights advocacy and the interconnectedness of law and politics, the contributors also demonstrate that the fight for social and economic justice is vibrant and of critical importance. 410 0$aLaw and society series (Vancouver, B.C.) 606 $aPublic welfare$xLaw and legislation$zCanada 606 $aWelfare recipients$xLegal status, laws, etc$zCanada 606 $aBasic needs$xLaw and legislation$zCanada 606 $aSocial rights$zCanada 606 $aHuman rights$zCanada 606 $aCitizenship$zCanada 606 $aPublic welfare$zCanada 615 0$aPublic welfare$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aWelfare recipients$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aBasic needs$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aSocial rights 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aCitizenship 615 0$aPublic welfare 676 $a344.7103/25 701 $aYoung$b Margot$01598516 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816575803321 996 $aPoverty$93920800 997 $aUNINA
