But in recent years there appears to be growing awareness of class differences, especially as tariff threats & economic restructuring politicize workers in new ways. Our volume covers topics including working-class representation, voting behaviour, & political participation. 2/3.

Very pleased to share that our new book The Working Class and Politics in Canada is available for pre-order at the link below. We argue there has been a tendency in Canada to talk about workers & the working class in superficial ways (or not at all) . 1/3.
