But it is the means by which the law functions as a tool of governmentality that occupies the contributors to this volume. Through the exploration of how to deconstruct law's power, how to expose the violence the law produces, and finally how to identify modes of resistance that have transformative potential, these essays contribute to the ongoing interrogation of settler colonialism, racism, and structural violence in Canada."-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on September 07, 2023) Subject Sociological jurisprudence -- Canada Power (Social sciences) -- Canada Settler colonialism -- Canada Race discrimination -- Canada LAW / Gender & the Law.
