The murder of British Columbia teen Reena Virk shocked Canadians and provoked an outpouring of media commentary, academic explanation, plays, and novels. But while much attention was paid to the problem of violence and "girl bullying," race and related issues hardly figured in mainstream conversation. This collection aims to refocus the conversation about Reena Virk by considering how racism, colonialism, and hierarchies of gender, class, age, and sexuality figure in this crime and our understanding of it. The ten thoughtful chapters by both prominent and emerging scholars force us to grapple with the difficult and at times ugly implications of Reena Virk's murder for Canadian national identity.

On the night of November 14, 1997, 14-year-old Reena Virk was swarmed, beaten and killed by a group of teenagers. In the aftermath of Reena's murder, it was her mother who spoke for the family. Now, for the first time, her father tells his story, speaking from the heart about his life with Reena; the spiraling events that led to yet more angst and frustration for the family; his lingering concerns about a badly fractured social-support and legal system; and the faith that pulled him through the most trying times of his life. He wrote this book to "set the record straight" and provide some hope to families going through difficult times raising their children.

This thesis addresses the media coverage of the murder of Reena Virk, a young South Asian woman who was killed on November 14, 1997 in Saanich, B.C. Academics, policy makers and journalists have asserted that the most alarming aspect of this crime is that young women participated in it. They argue that this is evidence of a rising trend of "girl violence." In this thesis I argue that the narrative of girl violence obscures other investigations and explanations surrounding this murder. In the mainstream media interlocking systems of oppression including racism, have not been addressed. I argue that the circumstances of Reena Virk's life and the media coverage of her murder are structured by interlocking systems of oppression. 1 Furthermore, I argue that the narrative of girl violence is linked to notions of hegemonic femininity--a construct supported by patriarchy, white supremacy, hetero-sexism, ableism, capitalism as well as gender-centric feminist theory. 1An interlocking analysis of oppression keeps in view the multiple forms of violence and oppression that work interdependently to support elite hegemony: "Interlocking systems need one another, and in tracing the complex ways in which they help to secure one another, we team now women are produced into positions that exist symbiotically but hierarchically."

Enriched by its official policies of multiculturalism, gender equality, and human rights, the Canadian public is occasionally shocked by glaring acts of racist and sexist violence brought to their attention by the sensationalist media. But nobody pauses to consider the historical antecedents and root causes of these tragedies. Discourses of Denial uncovers how racism, sexism, and violence interweave deep within the foundations of our society. Using examples from the lives of immigrant girls and women of colour, Yasmin Jiwani considers the way accepted definitions of race and gender shape and influence public consciousness. In linking race, gender, and violence, this book makes an important contribution to our understanding of the complex and interconnected influences that shape the violence of contemporary social reality and that contour the lives of racialized women.

Rethinking Society in the 21st Century is a critical collection of readings that provides students with a foundational knowledge base in sociology. The fourth edition has been thoroughly updated to include significant Canadian content, with a greater focus on indigeneity, gender, and sexuality and a new section dedicated to social movements, social change, and emerging fields. This anthology introduces students to the fundamental elements of sociology with a balance of classical theory—Marx, Weber, Durkheim, Mills—and more contemporary approaches found in the works of Michel Foucault and Dorothy Smith. Building on this theoretical grounding, the text outlines core concepts in sociology as well as major social institutions such as families, the economy and labour, education, health care, and media. Covering a wide breadth of topics, including chapters on animals, the environment, crime, trans issues, class, ethnicity, and race, this new edition explores critical debates in Canadian society with an emphasis on intersectional approaches to social inequalities. This volume is rich with pedagogical features that promote critical understanding, including detailed introductions that speak to the contextual history of the source material and discussion questions for each section. Uniquely designed for introductory courses, Rethinking Society in the 21st Century is the ideal reader for Canadian students of sociology.
