By Us! For Us!: Activism in Jane-Finch A Working Class Community

Beschreibung

By Us! For Us! counters the mainstream narrative about the community of Jane-Finch in Toronto. It is a story of courage, advocacy, belonging, and grassroots activism confronting neglect and unacceptable political and bureaucratic decisions that resulted in a lack of social infrastructure, racism, and marginalization.

Wanda MacNevin grew up in Downsview, a suburban area in Toronto that includes the Jane-Finch community.
