Summary
"Painting the Maple explores the critical interplay of race and gender in shaping Canadian culture, history, politics, and health care. These interdisciplinary essays draw on feminist, postcolonial, and critical theory in a wide-ranging discussion that encompasses both high and popular forms of culture, the deliberation of policy and its execution, and social movements as well as individual authors and texts."--Jacket.
