{"product_id":"a-peoples-citizenship-guide-esyllt-jones-9781894037563","title":"A People's Citizenship Guide: A Response to Conservative Canada","description":"In 2009, Stephen Harper's Conservative government changed the contents of the official citizenship guide that is given to all recent immigrants. The new version contained a lot more military history and plenty of information about the monarchy, but little about public programs such as medicare or education, or our rich history of social justice movements. Ignoring the work and democratic struggles of generations of newcomers, it presumes that new immigrants need to be taught how to \"take responsibility\" for their families. In short, the official guide outlines an exceptionally narrow, conservative view of Canadian politics and society. In \u003cem\u003ePeople's Citizenship Guide\u003c\/em\u003e, a group of progressive scholars offer an alternative citizenship guide: a lively, political, humane--and more honest--alternative to Stephen Harper's version of the story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Esyllt Jones\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1894037561\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781894037563\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arp Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.80w x 0.30d","brand":"Esyllt Jones","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450038628607,"sku":"9781894037563","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_014e57c2-292f-4a22-826b-1e344f592bb4.jpg?v=1777265957","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-peoples-citizenship-guide-esyllt-jones-9781894037563","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
